I don't want a military force that considers ethics at all. That's how we end up losing all over the world.

The US military wasn't exactly known for its ethical conduct in Vietnam, so I'm not sure we can blame losing on the ethics.
Nor Iraq/Afghanistan.
Clearly posted by some keyboard warrior who has never actually been down range. We should bring back the draft specifically for people with this combination of cowardice and bravado.
There were so little ethics involved in those lost wars "all over the world" that this is laughable. Except if you mean "we could have just nuked them and be done with it".
