I think you are being a little disingenuous. There are some reasons to expect higher crimes rates among the military some reasons to expect lower.

No this is typical lefty thinking. We see this reasoning all the time from the left "What do you expect from people trained to kill?" and other similar garbage. The left loves to use words like "bloodlust" and "thrill of the kill" to describe soldiers. Only to turn around and defend gang members that commit horrific crimes as being "misunderstood," "product of poverty," or some other such nonsense.

Yes soldiers commit crimes, but it is a fact that they do it at significantly lower rates than their peers in the general population. Perhaps the left should show more respect for soldiers and a little less concern for how burglary/rapists get life terms or sympathy for minorities who hide a dozen of their victims bodies under their home.
