Well you could split the poll... One with the same options but only for civilians and one only for vets. But so far looking at the small sample it seems is either ballpark 3000 or over 9.5k. So from what people have posted I'd guess the numbers around 3k are mostly military with some civilians mixed in and the higher times are all civilian.
