Ask HN: Can you model DoD as a thing that transfers risk?

Specifically, my hypothesis is it transfers risk from the Northern Virginia and Maryland housing markets onto the uniformed service members, and of course, the unfortunate souls on the other end of the conflict. Specifically, I would be interested to see if there are any correlations between the housing markets around DC, and payouts from the Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (SGLI) fund. Sort of like a transistor: the conflict is the power signal, the housing and SGLI are information signals.
