Summary/Abstract: In all countries there is a new interest in all matters concerning ethics, with a sum of questions that are increasingly hard to answer – like who’s to blame for terrorist attacks, why different people are reacting so strange, so “away” from our way of thinking. As a result, there is an increase in the number of people, teaching or attending courses in ethics than before. Doctors, politicians, prosecutors, professors are developing new rules acceptable for the whole spectrum of their profession,with a declared intent to follow up on living up to the new codes. As part of most societies, the military have made a tradition of studying ethics, mostly through case studies, through examples, and least through a philosophical approach. The process of making decisions is something that comes like breathing to an officer, so are we taking all steps in making sure that those decisions are ethical ones too?
