For what I do for the military, there was a very comprehensive screening process.For all special ops/special forces jobs the screening process goes well beyong can you do a few hundred pushups. Butone must keep in mind that military members comefrom society as a whole...

....doctors, teachers, police officers, public servants allcome from the public. You can't screen a man/woman's "honor" you can't test for "integrity". But life is about choices, and I believe, about cause and effect.

"......The law of karma, saysthis: `for every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful.'

Quote:
|
A skillful event is one that is not accompanied by craving, resistance or delusions; an unskillful event is one that is accompanied by any one of those things. (Events are not skillful in themselves, but are so called only in virtue of the mental events that occur with them.)

Therefore, the law of Karma teaches that responsibility for unskillful actions is born by the person who commits them.
