Davenport's various violations of the Code must be viewed from another perspective as an example of responsible disobedience. Since Dr. Davenport and Antwone are both members of the military, there is a certain camaraderie between them that the general public doesn't experience. Taking this into account, Dr. Davenport may be expressing responsible disobedience as he violates various Code standards in an attempt to comply with the complexities of military culture (Cottone & Tarvydas, 2007). Because the military is a culture of its own, it is difficult to say whether some or all of the situations that led to an ethical violation were justified. It is easy to say that Dr. Davenport violated ethical principles during his work with Antwone, but virtue ethics may support Dr. Davenport as he interpreted standards in the context of military culture (Cottone & Tarvydas, 2007). Antwone's invitation to Thanksgiving dinner is a particular example of how a violation of the ethical code can exemplify virtue ethics. Although Dr. Davenport is extending the therapeutic relationship beyond its conventional parameters, this may not seem so from the military context. Members of the military often consider themselves part of the same family (Whitehouse, McQuinn, Buhrmester, and Swann). Inviting Antwone to dinner may have seemed like an acceptable decision to Dr. Davenport given that they were close on both a professional and familial level.
