Ok, but they are LEOs in their capacity as military police. They would be permitted to carry firearms if acting in their capacity as a LEO while traveling.
That's a very small subset of the military, though. The point from the previous poster that I clarified was that the military, in general, are treated just like you and me when it comes to weapons on planes and/or into a sterile area. Private Trailerpark can't carry a gun on the plane just because he signed up with the Army.
