Some troops get involved in crime.

A friend of mine who has been the longtime archivist for the Canadian Military Engineer Association told a story about an inquiry he received. It seems an Engineer died in Holland and the family didn't know why. So he researched. Well, he was shot dead by military police after attempting to rape a Dutch civilian. How do you tell the family? So, he hedged the story that the MPs were involved, the honour of civilian was involved, there was no enemy action, and the soldier had died relating to the woman's honour.
