The ethical code of the U.S. Army calls for being dutiful, honest, fulfillment of obligations and tolerance towards others.

I would also ensure a more sound ethical education and training so that compliance to ethical standards within the army can be ensured.

The Enron scandal illustrated a distinct lack of wisdom among leaders, further intensifying the absence of moral character (Petrick & Scherer, 2003).
