...is there any political gain to be made from this?

If the answer is "yes" then no one should be surprised if there isn't a few politicians lining up to carry the torch for it.

If it looks like a few votes are in the balance or a big campaign donation, then plan on seeing the military get portrayed as a "big business" that can afford to 'pay' for its mistakes.

...just my two cents, I could be wrong.
