Excuse Tubularsock but did you hear that our dear Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has received a memo from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff listing recommendations on “ethics training for senior generals and flag officers”?
Well, the memo was in response to Panetta’s request that the Joint Chiefs review the current ethics training for generals.
Wow. Generals? That is scary.
What is so difficult here?
1.DON’T FUCK ANOTHER MAN’S WIFE! (General David Petraeus)
2. DON’T STEAL FROM YOUR EMPLOYER! (General William Ward’s $82,000 travel spree)
3. IT’S ALL RIGHT TO KILL!
This takes a review?
Oh yeah, and Panetta is even going to BRIEF the President as well. Hopefully right after the Tuesday Kill meeting.
American exceptionalism at it’s best.

Yep Tube, at least our military lives at the foot of the cross !!
There’s this noble ethics initiative AND a real push to use more alternative energy while murdering our brothers in the middle east. God bless ameriKa !

As usual you hit the nail on the head, Dearing. It is not just what they do but the way they rationalize it. If the church hadn’t come up with the “holy war” concept they would have to follow “god’s law”, Thou shall not kill and that would certainly put a dent in war. The great thing is that the military knows how to shift “god’s” ethics and at the same time convince everyone that they are “reviewing” their own. That’s why they get paid the big bucks.
