Army Ethics Paper

Abstract

All professions must have codes of ethics, for it is in observing such obligations that one becomes a member of the profession. There can be no military profession without a code of ethics. What makes the military's sense of ethics different from the ethics of the rest of the society is precisely the requirement of service instead of self-interest. As long as the Army is to remain a profession, its members, and the profession itself must put the service of our country and their people above self-interest.
