I think they are more similar than not. The military does have mechanisms to investigate and punish misconduct, but so do the police, internal affairs departments. I believe the difference is internal vs. external initiation of claims. I don't see the military being very open to criticism from non-military personnel, in other words, they close ranks too. I think its more to do with tribalism.
