One way to change this culture would be to convene a host of these where people would maybe after a mass or maybe it's not and i'm not kidding well yeah you could do it online online right. include people from the bottom in the top i'd never be an interest in that if you want a silent session yet put put the boss is in there with the people who who can in front of the boss, he says.

Leonard Wong of the Strategic Studies Institute at the U.S. Army War College talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about honesty in the military. Based on a recent co-authored paper, Wong argues that the paperwork and training burden on U.S. military officers requires dishonesty--it is simply impossible to comply with all the requirements. This creates a tension for an institution that prides itself on honesty, trust, and integrity. The conversation closes with suggestions for how the military might reform the compliance and requirement process.
