Does public service motivation alter ethical

You read the article by Allen on Army Ethics and Leadership highlighting culture and climate this week. The article addresses the impact the business environment has (or does not have depending on whose perspective you read in the article) on the military. It also focuses on character and competence of leaders as they relate to ethical behavior. Your requirement for this forum is to draw one perspective or concept from this article, explain what that is and then find at least two other scholarly sources to explain that concept. So for instance you might latch on to the idea that the military culture is so different than business that it would be impossible to apply the lessons from one to the other. Or you could in turn argue that lessons from business could inform the military as well as public administrators. Explain your concept, add further analysis and challenge your classmates to argue the other side!
