Sir,

It is secure in that the site now sits behind the Army's firewalls.

The officers who founded this site are phenomenal, and not just because one of them is a neighbor! The interactive ethics training that is mentioned in the article is some of the best that the cadets have received because unlike many scenarios in standard training, it puts cadets in the middle of a gray situation instead of a black or white situation where the answer is obvious. It forces them to think through their reaction and ponder the second and third order effects.
