Summary/Abstract: Traditionally, nation states, and for that matter non-state actors as well, have used military power as the primary means of furthering their political interests. I argue that the application of military power must be in harmony with one’s information narrative. If military and paramilitary personnel violate codes of behavior,then the information message is diminished. If I am correct then perhaps we should reframe and teach military ethics as part of the information campaign.
