Remaining True to Our Values - Reflections on Military Ethics in Trying Times

摘要

We start this issue of Journal of Military Ethics with a recent address on military ethics given by one of the US ARMY's leading officers. Brigadier General H. R. McMaster graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1984. He has attended many Army Professional Military Education schools including the Army Command and Staff College, and he has held a US Army War College Fellowship at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University. He completed his PhD in military history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and his dissertation was published as the award-winning book, Dereliction of Duty: Johnson, McNamara, the Joint Chiefs and the Lies That Led to Vietnam. From 1994 to 1997 he taught history at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
