Evidently those West Point cadets need remedial courses on their Clausewitz. Mercifully, the number was lower for serving officers, but of course today's cadets are tomorrow's officers. 11/25
Two things jump out at me from the GWU report. 1) They stick to arrests, which selects out Ashli Babbitt, who did not live long enough to be arrested. I get why, methodologically, but given the small numbers they're working with, it makes a meaningful difference.

2) the difference in branches of the service, while it could be many factors and correlation != causation, it strikes me that 'warrior-ism' is strongest in the Marines and the Army and those branches were the most represented. Curious, but obviously not dispositive in any way.

In your thread, I think you make a good point about combat experience not being nearly so big an indicator as the media made it out to be. Of course, as a Roman historian, I'd be remiss if I didn't note that the praetorians seem to have rarely had combat experience either...

If we were to include Babbitt in federal charges, she’d be the third woman, which would make women 6.6% of charged veterans, and probably statically insignificant to pursue further
