The Ethical Problem in Pluralistic Societies and Dr. Toner's Mistakes

Abstract

How can the military instill high ethical standards in its members when these standards appear to be in social decline? Are military cultures out of touch with the people they protect? First published in the Portuguese edition of Aerospace Power Journal, this piece by Dr. da Rocha responds to an earlier APJ article by Dr. James Toner. Here da Rocha provides an international (Brazilian) perspective in a deep, theoretical tutorial on the origins and relationships of social and military ethical standards. His article will challenge readers to think.
