Lying in the military is common Army War College study says - The Washington Post

"A new study by Army War College professors found that not only is lying common in the military, the armed forces themselves may be inadvertently encouraging it.

The study, released Tuesday, was conducted by retired Army officers and current War College professors Leonard Wong and Stephen J. Gerras. They found that untruthfulness is “surprisingly common in the U.S. military even though members of the profession are loath to admit it.”"

Everbody lies. Once we accept this and quit playing gotcha when someone does what everyone else does, we'll be a lot happier.

Officers and NCOs who lie are exhibiting a deficit in their leadership ability and basic character which reflects poorly upon themselves, the leaders who appointed them to their rank and position and are a blight upon the Service.
While this may be an accepted and expected performance trait in the civilian world, especially in politics, it is not in any Service and any one who does should be relieved from their position.

That quote from Sun Tzu refers to deception in battle and if you can not understand nor rationalize the difference you need a psych eval.
