You see the problem with your theory shahani is that the 99% good and 1 % bad rule runs through all facets of life.

To say that the tarnish is on the us military is rediculous unless they exceed the 1% general corruption found in the population.

Generally speaking they police themselves harder then the rest of the population IMO. On top of that they have the press monitoring them for faults. As a large entity they are a target for concentrated scrutiny. To see as few articles as we do is pretty impressive considering there are people out there who's entire live is to try and discredit the US and here military. Based on the increased coverage and investigation I would say that the corruption is probably more on the order of .001% of the general population's corruption.
