because deployed with someone==best look into their personal life.

glad to see your field psychoanalysis test accepted as the new standard for evaluating potential to commit a crime. I look forward to our minority report-esque future.

when you are deployed with someone, you get to know their personal life VERY well.. you eat sleep and sometimes even **** with these people...

when you have been deployed and learned what one learns when you are with someone 24/7 then speak.
till then stfu.

I never said all marines are wife beaters, nor did I say they are all crazy... so take your beef and move on

support your claim that there is a higher rate then:ugh2:

I've done my time overseas in "undisclosed locations" with people in every branch. You don't get where I am without that background.

my claim goes from seeing it with my own eyes... and from inside information and briefings upon briefings... I have friends who have had to arrest people because they are beating their spouse... male and female alike...

currently Minot leads AFGSC in domestic calls... you ok with that because it's AF?
and going TDY isn't the same as being in the suck... Lemers, or any other military member will back me on that

sample, size, confirmation bias

you're claims have zero credibility as you have never had the experience...
this is dumb, you believe what you want...



it's not an outlandish claim... im sorry I don't have my slide shows, and briefings in front of me

who is trying to psychoanalyze now? don't be a douchebag, goes to show you don't know what your talking about. I choose not to go into the Marines...

Yeah, but I also know from first hand experience that every branch has it's problems. None of them are any different than the other. If I had to guess I would say that if you broke down the various things (in this case domestic abuse) you would find that all the branches have pretty similar incident rates. Lets say the army has 13 incidents per 1000 households (completely made up number), I would be willing to bet the other branches would be pretty similar and that there isn't any significant variance.

these guys seem to think the DV rates are higher in the army, consistent with everything I've seen.

and like I have said before, im not saying the AF isn't bad, or the Army isn't bad.. hell, I even mentioned my current duty station has the highest rate in all of AFGSC
