I would prefer my own country's miilitary leaders to be ethical as well, personally. A ruthless military leader may:

Attempt to overthrow the government
Declare war on a nearby country that he thinks he can defeat
Subvert military supply lines in order to unethically increase his personal wealth

...all of which are behaviours I do not prefer.
