Army Recruiting: An Ethical Dilemma

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at the situation of ethical dilemmas in the U.S. army, and how it affects army recruiting. It explores how ethics typically involves the choice between an ethical and a non-ethical situation, and how the army has elected to not promote such ideals in army recruiting, as this may discourage the number of recruits. The paper illustrates this through current pertinent examples.

From the Paper:

"With all of the current news focus on the war in Iraq, the converge between ethics and war actions has been made evident to the American public, especially with recent information regarding U.S. soldiers actions towards detainees at Guantanamo Bay. This raises questions regarding how much the army should consider situations containing ethical dilemmas. Ethical dilemmas involve considering a conflict between moral imperatives. Typically, this necessitates a choice between a moral or ethical response and a non-ethical alternative. In many cases, ethical dilemmas are highly difficult as the non-ethical conclusion is often paired with other incentives. If a nation's army does not consider such ethics, major atrocities, genocides, torture, among other results, may occur. "
