The Ethical Dilemma Facing Leaders During Tactical Questioning

Abstract

Todays leaders are faced with the ethical dilemma of what they will allow their Soldiers to do in reference to tactical questioning. Situations in Iraq and Afghanistan occasionally demand that Soldiers go further than what the Army says is right in order to obtain crucial information for mission accomplishment. Leaders must constantly evaluate tactical questioning situations to ensure the situation does not get out of hand and risk embarrassing the unit or the command, while still allowing their Soldiers to do what is necessary to get the information they need.
