Our ethical conduct on the battlefield must be above board we, as an Army cannot afford anything less. No matter what the enemy does, we are obligated to abide by the Geneva and Hague conventions. We are accountable for our actions good, bad, or indifferent in both the national and international spotlight. The incidents at No Gun Ri, Abu Ghraib, Mi Lai cannot be erased but we can work on ensuring we do not repeat those mistakes.
