I'd imagine that a school for an army base would have quite a few students with parents serving overseas in Iraq or Afghanistan. And you don't want students thinking "Hey, my mom/dad's in Iraq! I can do whatever I want and nobody's gonna punish me! I have the perfect excuse!" I wouldn't put that type of attitude past some schoolkids.

The question is, would that deter students from trying to get away with disruptive behavior? It's not just a matter of justifying or punishing disruptive behavior. It's about attempting to prevent disruptive behavior as much as one can in a school environment.
Bottom line - You don't want a school envoronment where students are cursing out faculty members or challening their authority, especially when they're trying to enforce a school rule, and thinking they can get away with it.
