Rank and Personal Gain

Abstract

As leaders we are entrusted with the development and lives of our subordinates. Leaders have to make ethical decisions everyday. Problems arrive when they can't distinguish between personal and professional issues. I witness several leaders during my deployments to OIF 1 and OIF 2 having to deal with compromising situations. They had to deal with these situations because of lapses in their ethical decision making process. The problems are traced to the following areas, improper relationships, government property, and treatment of soldiers. These situations are easily fixed by applying the army values and some professionalism.
