I disagree that such an exemption would help civilian carry progress in the end.
I think it would lend more weight to the "only trained professionals" should be allowed to carry firearms argument. I don't have a clear logical argument as to why, but my gut instinct is that is where it would end up being taken.

I will also point out that people in the military are often under great deals of stress, feel alienated from the general population, etc., etc. Some members of the military, in my experience, are not all that well trained in the use of firearms, just like some police officers.

I really see absolutely no reason members of the military should get a special exemption. I almost feel like this is the same as trap shooters selling me down the river when they say no on needs and AR.
