I don't want to talk to you in that post where I mentioned ethics, it's been contaminated.
Whether or not I followed a written rule would not challenge my ethics per se. The rule was written my men and I have the will to decide that. To deliberately practice deceit by contravening a rule to satisfy some defense of ego is an ethical challenge. It's exactly that same as a bribe. I find a bribe unethical. He (ids) offered that officer a vehicle that falsely met her specifications (a bribe) so as to not suffer her wrath for it not being to her specs. She was wrong and so was he. I expected more from my NCOs if not the officers.

I get irked when some equate following rules, regulations or laws with ethical behavior. May or may not be the case - depends on the rule/reg/law. For example, folloing many rules, regulations and/or laws in Stalin's Russia or Hitler's Germany would not have been ethical - under any circumstance.
