Military Children Display Higher Rates of Substance Abuse and Violence.

They don't give a good reason for the difference other than speculation on frequency of moves and absence of a parent due to deployment. While those are understandable risks there is no data presented to back it up.

I saw nothing in this article that had any substance. Most military children that grow up overseas like my children, are generally more tolerant children, more resilient, and not violent/prone to bullying/getting bullied. Military children that grow up entirely in the States are basically just civilian kids who have a parent that is/was military. There is a huge difference between those two groups of dependent children, I saw the difference at my last duty station before retirement.

Makes sense: adults choose the regimentation and structure of military life; children do not. Given that 'crap rolls downhill' then I can see where the frustrations inherent in military life (repression, powerlessness) can impact children who are seeking independence.
