#1 You don't establish 'Ethical Conduct' through political appointment or by pulling it out of private Joe Snuffies rucksack and pushing it up the chain of command to the Pentagon and White House. Ethical conduct must start at the very top, with the established chain of command, and flow downhill. Not surprisingly, appointing political commissars, czars, or political snoops is this administration's answer to nearly everything.

#2 Golly gee, you mean that annual requirement to read the Standards of Conduct was for naught? CYAWP /sarc off

Maybe, just maybe, if you actually enforced it to begin with, you wouldn't have to deal with the consequences now. Maybe, just maybe, if 'rank has privileges' wasn't tolerated you wouldn't have to deal with this now. Maybe, just maybe, that the unit's honor was tied to actually purging itself of those who tread upon its good name rather than covering something up in its name, you wouldn't have to deal with this now.
