CASE STUDY

A soldiers thinking about war may change during his service. For example, after experiencing his first real battle and seeing human beings lying dead or in pain, a soldier might be prompted to embrace pacifism and request or transfer to a non-combat unit. Such a request would not be looked on favorably by his superiors and usually would be denied. Because the man had accepted training as a combat soldier, they would reason, he would be obligated to finish his term of service. Is this reasoning morally sound? Would it be morally acceptable for the soldier to continue fighting, even though he objected to it on principle?"

Key terms:

Obligation virtues; Good-promoting virtues; Limiting virtues.
