Military Ethics?
Colin Powell has recently said that the President knew he was lying to the public about finding evidence of WMD and mobile labs...I heard another retired general this morning, one of the ever increasing number of retired generals who are currently critiquing the defense department and calling for Rumsfeld's resignation, say, when asked why he had not spoken out earlier, that in the military chain of command you either salute and carry out the orders or you get out (and he was not ready to retire). I thought we had learned something about practice of ethics and morality in the military after the My Lai massacre.
