Billmon: Men of Honor

When Army Captain Ian Fishback went to his company commander to report what he knew about the torture of Iraqi detainees during Operation Stomp Fallujah, he says he was told:

“remember the honor of the unit is at stake” or something to that effect . . .

It appears that in the Army of Looking Out for Number One, "honor" now has approximately the same meaning as "cover my bureaucratic ass."
