Ethics and the Soldier

Abstract

As we strive for a higher standard, we must accept the fact that there are some Soldier among us making unethical decisions. We should careful not to over react, as in the Abu Ghraib Prison scandal. Instead, we must find these misfits, weed them out and then drive on. Our professional standards should derive from those traditional standards that have proudly made us who we are today, and balance them with the social norms in which our Soldiers come from.
