Based on the movie Saving Private Ryan, YOU are the crusty sergeant in the movie. Focus on the scene where the company has captured the Nazi machine-gunner and are deciding what do to with him. Notice that the sergeant supports the captain's decision regardless of the future outcome. Do you agree with the sergeant's actions or would you have taken some other action? Explain...
Also, what are some similar ethical challenges that NCOs in today's military face? Do you have any personal examples that you can share or that you have observed?
Are there any real world examples of ethics breach that we can look at as a case study and see how the decision (good or bad) affected the outcome or harmed the political objectives of that country?
