Yep and many countries, even Western countries have different standards. Remember the ancient Spartan boys being expected to steal their food but not get caught.
At the Gerrardo Barrios Military School in El Salvador the defacto code is the opposite of West Point’s Honor Code. Salvadoran cadets are expected to band together and show loyalty to each other and not the administrators. The school is brutal and the “cooperate and graduate” mantra is taken to an extreme. Thus each class (tanda) graduates with a fierce and long standing loyalty...to each other. The young officer on the ground knows the young officer flying the helicopter gunship in his support and vice versa. Still, even in El Salvador, if you get caught cheating, pow, bam, smash...
Yes, to PROVE their ability in stealth and to provide for himself in enemy territory -- necessary attributes for a successful and surviving warrior.
Cheating on an exam, is to achieve recognition for knowledge the cheater doesn't possess...
A big difference....
Can you see that now?
