Massive army base, Ft Bliss, is in El Paso. Local news always plays up the military angle when a soldier is arrested. I once wrote a letter to the editor of the EP Times noting that for the age/sex demographic soldiers were far less likely to commit crimes than the population at large and questioned why the Times never published a criminal’s profession if he were a plumber or a car salesman. Letter went unpublished.
