                     Panetta Orders Military Ethics Review

   by VOA News

   U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is ordering a review of ethics
   training for military officers.

   In a memo to Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Martin Dempsey,
   Panetta said a string of ethical lapses by senior military officers had
   "the potential to erode public confidence in our leadership and in our
   system for the enforcement of our high ethical standards."

   Panetta spokesman George Little said the memo was the product of
   internal Pentagon discussions that began before former general David
   Petraeus announced he was resigning as CIA director because of an
   extramarital affair. The scandal has also ensnared the top U.S.
   commander in Afghanistan, General John Allen.

   In the past year senior military officers have been investigated for
   adultery, bigamy, sodomy, improper use of funds and other misconduct.
