This article looks at candor in the military. The author explains that there are plenty reasons why candid communication is not used, but it is difficult to find precisely where candor stops being important or why it seems to be so undervalued. He then argues that the US Army has an opportunity to reevaluate how trust can be bolstered through leadership and an infusion of candor at all levels, and by bolstering education and training with forthright communication at the earliest levels of leadership development.
