Ethics in the Czech Armed Forces Today

Abstract

The Army is a mirror of our society; it is no different from any other element in our country. The ethics of the Army reflects the ethics of our present day culture. The ethics of the current Czech Armed Forces definitely replicates the principles of the present Czech culture. Globalization has had a profound effect on most countries in the 21stThe Army exists for one reason and that is to serve our nation. There are several ethical dilemmas influencing the NCO and WO Corps in the Czech Armed Forces today. I will address three of them here; no fair and equal system in the ranks, Soldiers living and serving just for money, and neo-Nazis in the Army. century and the ethics are similar in the developed western states nowadays. Money and possessions are almost above everything else, and our ethics have lost their true meaning. It is crystal clear that the pursuit of material goods is one the most important things in many of the western nations. Money motivates people as well as Soldiers, but also some of the ideas that influence their mentality and decision making process.
