‘’I will not lie, cheat, or steal. Nor will I tolerate those who do.’’ — I think this is part of the Officer’s Honor Code. Guess this Admiral’s honor is quite flexible.
That is a great point.
The Cadet Honor Code at West Point and other military academies such as New Mexico Military Insititute.
Both the United States Military Academy and the United States Air Force Academy have adopted a Cadet Honor Code as a formalized statement of the minimum standard of ethics expected of cadets. Other military schools have similar codes with their own methods of administration. The United States Naval Academy has a related standard, known as the Honor Concept. Also Virginia Military Institute, Texas A&M University, The Citadel, United States Merchant Marine Academy, United States Coast Guard Academy and many others. The OCS HONOR CODE says: An Officer Candidate will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do. John 3:2o Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. Ephesians 5:11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.(NIV1984)
So much for honor. It never existed in this...General. Except in the sense of Benedict Arnold.
