From Slate:
A study of CEOs who have served in the military finds that companies run by former soldiers are less likely to commit fraud than CEOs who never served. But honesty may come at a cost to shareholders—the same study finds that military CEOs also produce lower returns at the companies they manage.
I'd like to see the study repeated after the military who served in Iraq/Afghanistan make it to the board room. I predict that the ethics will be the same but creativity and innovation will improve; with the resultant positive effect on the bottom line.
