In the News Today, Army has Dilemma

Abstract

Every Soldier in the Army must have values that support the Army's values. The entire organization must live by a strict code of conduct to ensure the success of its mission. The standard is known and recognized by American citizens, corporations, and foreign armies, but let an Abu Ghurayb prison incident, or the misconduct of a recruiter happen, and all is forgotten. The United States media's inability to investigate and report facts accurately have created a huge dilemma for the leadership of the Army - Do we fight this war based on keeping high public opinion; or do we fight the most effective way possible, and take our chances with the press.
