No one in their right mind would say that boot camp is "tantamount" to being in combat. So I'm with your neighbor.

I don't understand the big deal with this whole thing. I haven't been parsing all that much, but at a glance, it appeared the article sort of suggested that people are assholes. Don't have to join the military and go to war to find that out. The assholes in the military, though, have different targets and ammo than civilian assholes. Had Michael Vick Bradley Fighting Vehicles, I'm sure he would have used them in a similar manner.
These guys joined the military, not the priesthood. I don't understand why everyone expects all of them to be saints.
