An Ethical Dilemma

Abstract

As Children, our family members and close contacts mold our ethical and moral traits. However, these characteristics are sometimes altered by personal experiences. The decisions of a Soldier, JAG Officer, and a Chaplain were instrumental in this dilemma. This dilemma includedfraternization, adultery, and lying by a Soldier, a JAG officer who uses a weak excuse to avoid involvement, and a Chaplain who refuses to get involved for fear of ruining a Soldiers career. One minor ethical dilemma can often evolve to major dilemmas by the decisions of those thatbecome involved. As a result, leadership in todays Army can not enforce the founding factors of ethics, the Army Values.
