Abstract

A major ethical problem facing our leaders in the Army is the abuse of prisoners of war (POW). According to Webster's dictionary, Ethics "the system or code of morals of a particular person, religion, group or profession".

Once Soldiers embrace Army values, they will handle prisoners of war properly.
