The fact that you ask, IMHO, means that you are not SF material. As we have noted repeatedly, we cannot teach ethics or morals to people without them. I strongly recommend that you NOT come to the Army, especially SF.
Best of luck in whatever branch you wind up in.

Roger that sir.
Up until now I hadn't realized that it would be an issue.
Now I realize that the question was short sighted, as I had initially just thought that should I decide to turn down the comission, my honor would still be intact by serving my time and paying back my scholarship in the enlisted ranks. I am at fault for not at first considering the notion that the investment that the Army makes in ROTC cadets is not simply in making a "soldier" but also in a "leader."
