If your hiring manager doesn’t see that and instead inserts some dumb personal bias, congrats! You just dodged a bullet by filtering out a job you really don’t want.
If your military service would count against you, is it really going to be a healthy environment for you to work in?
"If they reject you for that, you don't want to work there in the first place". Except if the alternatives are no job at all, or a minimum wage workplace with significantly worse conditions. That kind of answer assumes a certain privileged position.
Did you do any software dev in your military service? Yes? Add it, if not then there is no need.
Thank you for the response.
Some will discriminate over it but they'll assume the worst if it's unexplained.
There are always those who loudly support the military and those who loudly oppose it, but as far as I can tell the current political climate isn't really about the military one way or the other.
I would say leave it off the resume when applying to companies or areas suspected of having a negative bias. Add it to your resume for all other companies/areas.

Also remember that a lot of times the person responsible for hiring you is not originally from the USA, so they will likely have a very different view on military things compared do Americans.
