Seattle Post-Intelligencer: military service a "social problem"

In today's P-I, an article about children raised by relatives other than parents:

This so-called "kinship care" is the largely unseen fallout from a confluence of social problems -- parental drug addiction, incarceration, mental illness and, more recently, military service -- that have left about 2.3 million children in the United States raised by their relatives, mainly grandparents.

Military service is a "social problem"?

According to this part of the MSM it is, right up there with drug addiction and mental illness.
