There are many military members and their families in the US voting. Their career is as relevant as anyone else's. People on a position of power within the government though means you may make very direct life and death decisions for military members though. So its a comfort to many of them if they see you served time yourself and aren't a tragic hypocrite.
Tldr: It's relevant to the people it's relevant to, which is many.
