the new captain has a definate personality lol

If you were watching the story they wernt broke, they did it for revenge of their dead friend. However Hollywood still tends to perpetuate the myth that out military make crap for wages, which is false! Our military pays very well and even the lowest ranking members make way over minimum wage when you calculate in all their pay and allowances. Lets say they were a rank of E-3 with over 2 years of service, with base pay and all allowances, including hazardous duty pay, they would be making around $2850.00 a month. Because they were deployed to a combat zone all of that would be tax free. Do the math based on a 40 hour work week and that’s roughly $16.00 an hour.Take into account what the above poster Sean pointed out, when you’re deployed to Iraq/Afghanistan there is absolutely nothing to spend your money on so aside from your monthly bills back home all of your pay is sitting in your bank account waiting for you when you return home. That tends to add up over the course of a one or two year deployment.(I used a 40 hour work week to put it into perspective for the average person, I understand that our military troops work longer work hours than that when deployed.)

all depends on the person, some people come back fine some people come back and kill their buddies like those guys at benning, some people just can't cope.

what i don't get is why they are so hard up for cash, when i got back from iraq for a year I had close to 30 grand in the bank and i was only a pfc at the start, they should have been loaded after 2 years.

Nope, LAPD has legal jurisdiction in LA. The military only covers military installation, and even in those cases sometimes the civilian law enforcement work with military police. I do however, agree that their leave would be cancelled immediately. And their parent command, or local military authority would be notified.
Note: If you break civilian law, you pay the civilian penalty Murder etc. After you complete your civilian sentence, you are then re-tried in military court for the "same" offense plus other military violations "Conduct Unbecoming" for example, sometimes getting time served then a dishonorable. Yup, always a "dishonorable". Only 21+ years of service.
