Ethics Though Paper: Ethics and Army Recruiting

Abstract

Army recruiting is experiencing significant difficulties due to the casualty toll resulting from the War on Terrorism in Iraq. The Army faced its toughest recruiting period during fiscal year (FY) 2005 in which it failed to meet its 80,000 new enlistment goal by 6,627. Some of the noted reasons for this are the number of casualties suffered in Iraq, lack of patriotism, lack of confidence in United States/Army leadership, and ethics/integrity of those who recruit American citizens placing them in harms way. In this paper I will address steps the Army is taking to address recruiting concerns, decisions that leadership and Recruiters make based on irrational reasoning, and provide a couple of possible solutions that could positively impact Army recruiting and restore the image of Army Recruiters.
