USA is also the largest branch as well, was that taken into account (not arguing, jsut asking). I've always seen stats back when i as AD, that showed the army having the highest rates of just about every bad thing imaginable, but then again, they have more personnel than the AF, Marines etc.

There's also that "small" issue of combat stress, PTSD etc. Folks suffering from that tend to have higher rates of domestic violence (and violence in general) as well.

Another thing that helps (hurts) those stats is the benefits provided to married guys...encourages people to jump into (and stay in) bad marriages.
