NEW YORK (CNN) – Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says its time to figure out just how bad, the bad behavior is in the ranks.

“Some of our people are falling short of these high standards and expectations. Ethics and character are absolute values that we cannot take for granted,” said Hagel.

The Pentagon has been deeply embarrassed by more than a dozen senior generals and admirals have behaved so badly in the last 15 months they have come under investigation.

“I think we need to find out. Is there a deep, wide problem? If there is, what’s the scope of that problem? How did this occur?” said Hagel.
