Some are Rewarded, Others are Punished

Abstract

Would you be inclined to follow a military leader who the Army has proven to be in violation, policy, or regulation because he/she violated military ethics? Non-commissioned officers struggle with military ethics while they support the command in order to accomplish the unit's mission. Morality and Ethics are very important issues in this country and in the military during these times of an extended conflict in Iraq where insurgents kill American and Coalition service members weekly. This paper discusses how I see the Noncommissioned Officers role in this struggle of ethics versus mission accomplishment from the Consequentialism and Deontological points of view.
