A recent U.S. Army War College study states "dishonesty and deception" among Army personnel is common, often encouraged to maintain a false sense of integrity.

Under what circumstances is it acceptable to be dishonest or deceive your superiors while in uniform? Have you ever done this, or seen others do it?

This poll says 'superiors'. Why doesn't it say 'seniors'?

I think regardless if someone is your senior or not, it is never right to be dishonest.

SFC James Sczymanski - that's a shame that you think anyone is your superior.

All that being said, yes I have lied to my leadership. I once told my nco I wasn't drunk. I wasn't fooling him.

Ah I see what is going on here. We both have a different definition of the word.
And no, I'm not married. Is someone a senior/superior in a marriage? Cause every relationship I've been in we've been equals. Or at least she let me believe that.

it's never acceptable, in my opinion. But it happens all too often with scammers because they have lost or never had the sense of honor. I would feel miserable if I started scamming. Every opportunity that I had to scam out of a duty/event/training I thought about it, but I knew if I did it I would fall into the same category as the scammers and I wouldn't want how to feel or be categorized as such.
