What Would You Do?

Servicemembers often face complicated ethical dilemmas, whether in combat or in the normal course of duty. Each month Capt. Rick Rubel, USN-Ret., distinguished professor of ethics at the U.S. Naval Academy, presents a real-life example of such a dilemma and asks what you would do in this situation.

Readers now can submit their own ethical dilemmas for MOAA’s What Would You Do? series! Send your ethics case to ethics@moaa.org, and What Would You Do? columnist Capt. Rick Rubel, USN-Ret., will choose one each month to be posted online and will offer his thoughts on the case. All submissions will be considered, and published cases will be edited for length and clarity. To read past What Would You Do? cases, visit www.moaa.org/ethics.
