The Hard Left or the Easy Right

Abstract

The decision to confront and report ethical dilemmas of your superiors, peers or subordinates for actions unbecoming a Soldier and in clear violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, often cause us to hesitate and question which direction we should move in. The absolute true fiber and being an exceptional role model is one who sets the example and never backs down even when faced with difficult situations and circumstances. If an individual choosing to do wrong, such as fraternizing with subordinates, is confronted and does not correct their actions, it is our duty to report ethical violations to correct ill behavior in the ranks. The ethics (morals) one is taught early in life are the precursor for decisions made later in life that defines what one truly stands for: the truth or something ethically wrong.
