this came about because of an article about white supremist groups getting into the armed forces to learn combat training and demolition. same thing for gang members. it has nothing to do with the military as a whole being demonized like THIS article is saying. the name of where that article came from is quite ironic.
side note, when i was deployed last year we did some work in the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator's (SARC) office. she had recently come from an Army base near Baghdad. she said the amount of rapes there was crazy because that was the way people got new recruits into their gangs and that gang tags were all over the military housing. doesnt mean that the ENITRE military are rapist gangbangers...
