It is said that military service members are "government property".

With that said, do you think crimes committed against SM should also be considered crimes against the government?

I think it would be a good idea. It would make it so that the government would be more accountable for the people that serve it. Also have the government pay more attention to what's going on with its people.

It is said, but it isn't so.

Service member are human beings, and therefore not property.

Too many service members think they are entitled to the the world already! I think this could be a
Step towards a military elitist faction being formed. A group of
Soldiers who are 'above the law'

We aren't anyone's property thanks to the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution. We are contracted employees who have agreed to the rules and regulation of our military service and the UCMJ.

Crimes are alwasy considered torts against "The People of _____", not necessarily against the individual. That would include service members. That is why in criminal court, proceedings are always "The People of _______ vs. Criminal So and So".
