Why yes, I do. Here's an interesting article addressing the fact that military service has less to do with one's political orientation, and more to do with economic class.
"Likewise, in 2003 only slightly more than 1 percent of members of Congress had a child serving.
This is not a Democrat-versus-Republican issue. It is a class issue. Small-town, religious, and middle-class Democrats or Republicans are more likely to have someone in the military in their extended social group than wealthy partisans of either party living in big cities."
