Some military troops are posed some tough ethical questions in a poll. Check out the story Here.
Do these numbers (if they are accurate) scare anyone? What kind of explanation can we come up with to understand why such a number of marines would (for example) not report a fellow marine for killing a non-combatant??

NPR does story on Ethics class at West Point
Check out this story on NPR's Morning Edition
Here.
It listens in on an Ethics class at West Point. One cadet makes the point that he is tired of "having all this ethics junk rammed down his throat" and he believes that taking classes, PME, etc. can't teach him to be a better person. He believes ethics is entirely subjective and "personal", so why waste my time with these kinds of classes?
This cadets complaints sound eerily familiar (although in the vast minority) to some cadets here as well. Any thoughts?
