Double Standards in the Army

Abstract

This paper discusses the evolution of illegal orders in the military. The United States Army claims to be values based organization, yet its leaders choose their careers over promoting values. This is shown through the actions of Army leaders in the Pat Tillman and Abu Ghurab Prison incidents to name a few. Further evidence of how small infractions lead to larger concerns is shown in the Academys own requirements of civilian dress for its students. The values the Army claims to promote must come before all other concerns if the Army is to truly be values based.
