That in one Platoon of one Company of one Battalion. It's not a valid percentage of Regiment. It would be closer to 2% in regiment which is good.

Seems to me we are throwing around a lot of numbers with no support from facts. 10%, 20%, whatever.

I am the first person to call bullshit when it comes to someone trying to use their service as a justification for stupid shit. Service has benifits and as far as I remember "immunity from prosecution" of a crime has never been one of them.

On the other hand, to make the statement (paraphrased) "The Army is full of losers". There are shitheads in every walk of life and some of those have a false sense of entitlement, the people around them should not be maligned simply because of their proximity to the turd.
