I'm not surprised about the brutally low scores for "members of congress" but I am a bit surprised how well the "military leaders" scores in comparison to "K12 principals" and especially "journalists". Though maybe that's a 'Murican trend?

My reaction to this was kind of the opposite. Indeed, military leaders were viewed better as other groups, but of the polled sample 50% felt that military leaders behaved unethically some or all of the time? (and I just mention this because it astounded me, 69% felt religious leaders were unethical some or all of the time. Jesus.) That seems incredibly dim.

Hmm, interesting. The way I see it, the ethics/morals are context-dependent. In the military's case, murder is a justifiably good thing to do, given an "evil" enemy. What's more, is the military leaders are viewed as being very effective at their job, one component of which is protecting the country. So there is little room for any unethical behavior. But for religious leaders, the moral/ethical standard is by definition as high as it can be, despite usually being archaic or outdated. So any exposed vice or misdemeanor—let alone straight-up sexual assault—is amplified by the hypocrisy.

Also, military scandals don't reach the public consiousness as often as issues with the other groups.

Oh really? Where did you learn that?
