Each month, this page will feature a different ethics case study provided by Capt. Rick Rubel, USN-Ret., distinguished Professor of Ethics at the U.S. Naval Academy.
With each case study, Rubel will provide suggested questions, and readers will be able to discuss and comment.
Whether you are currently serving, in a second career, or retired, there will be something here that makes you think.
Unlike rules of engagement or standards of conduct, remember there is not necessarily a right answer to an ethical dilemma.
We hope you find this series interesting, but more important, we hope to promote discussion and thinking about ethical challenges facing people in uniform, whether in combat or in the normal course of duty.
By Capt. Rick Rubel, USN-Ret.
