Aren't military personnel often viewed as would-be-criminals?
I've heard that domestic crime levels in the US have fallen while 250,000 of tis soldiers are fighting wars in Iraq etc.
Michael Moore seems to insinuate that many of the soldiers in Iraq don't have many prospects back at home, and are reliant upon military salaries. Statistics would seem to confirm this view; soldiers predominantly come from lower-class, lower socio-economic backgrounds, with poorer education levels and fewer prospects.
It is probably a good bet that the average soldier is also more aggressive than the average person.
If war weren't so expensive, a smart but evil state might send its soldiers to war to
a) reduce crime levels at home
b) genetically engineer the population to be less aggressive by changing the gene pool

Every warlike society has faced that dilemma -- what to do with the boys when they come home. It was a huge problem for ancient Rome, which decided the best solution was to grant nice villas in the country to said soldiers in spite of the protests of the former occupants.
