It builds character and reflects directly the army and how other people see the US army. I might actally think that because I base my ethics off what the army wants then I am using the the utilitarian principle which focuses on maximizing the good for the greater amount of people. It hardly leaves any room for what the minority wants and whom may not have a voice ever, but as long as this standard is led the right way then I don’t see what much is wrong with it. especially when it comes to the survival of the group.
