Army ethos

A staple in Civil War reading is the author's attempt to rouse reader indignation against the professional ethic of this or that general.

The historical fact not generally known is that the U.S. Army did not and does not have a stated professional ethos.

Matthew Moten, who wrote a necessary book on the Delafield Commission here urges the Army to finally sit down and develop one.
