Affaire Petraeus: inquiétudes grandissantes au sujet de l'éthique des officiers


Les cas des généraux Petraeus et Allen s'ajoutent à une liste troublante d'officiers dont le jugement peut être questionné.

 "Along with a steady diet of books on leadership and management, the reading list at military “charm schools” that groom officers for ascending to general or admiral includes an essay, “The Bathsheba Syndrome: The Ethical Failure of Successful Leaders,” that recalls the moral failure of the Old Testament’s King David, who ordered a soldier on a mission of certain death — solely for the chance to take his wife, Bathsheba.

 The not-so-subtle message: Be careful out there, and act better.

 Despite the warnings, a worrisomely large number of senior officers have been investigated and even fired for poor judgment, malfeasance and sexual improprieties or sexual violence — and that is just in the last year.
