Framework document: Reflections on values and ethics military

The profound change in our globalized world, affects seriously our civilization, and therefore, to Spain and its institutions, including the Armed Forces. The concepts of peace and war transformed themselves and it reflects on its nature. The military also seek to give meaning and ethical foundation to his profession; and in that effort seems necessary to try to understand the extreme hardness of the war, and so, the values that underpin the military called to exercise it. This basic morality question of military professional behavior, an ethical reflection on the moral justifications for the exercise of military activity, must take into account that the essential function and principal nature of the military function is lethal combat, in which destruction and death occurs.
