Not a scientific poll, so it doesn't mean anything. Libertarians are vastly over represented online, so when they do well it online polls, it's pretty much meaningless to real life. Which is pretty fitting, because many of their ideas don't work well in real life either.
That being said, if I recall correctly Ron Paul did extremely well with military members maybe even winning majority support despite losing badly with everyone else. I think it more has to do with the age group then anything else. Young Republicans don't care about social issues and are more likely to be libertarians or libertarian leaning.
Also despite the fact I disagree with him on much, I'm voting for Gary Johnson because "Feel the Johnson" is an awesome campaign slogan, because he's anti-war, a rock climber and owns a marijuana business.
