This list have been around at least since I joined the Army in 99 and I imagine it's been around for much longer than that. Is it time for a tweak or is it a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"?

Selfless Service - Put the welfare of the nation, the Army, and your subordinates before your own.
Honor - Live up to all the Army values.
Integrity - Do what’s right, legally and morally.
Personal Courage - Face fear, danger, or adversity [physical or moral.]

Tenacity.
Webster's dictionary defines tenacity as: not easily pulled apart: tending to adhere or cling especially to another substance.
With respect to military operations, tenacity implies the moral, physical, and mental capability to persevere and advance into the face of adversity and hostility. The indomitable spirit of the warrior and the unwillingness to retreat or withdraw. To never fail your unit.
As Colonel Charles Beckwith remarked, "I'd rather go down the river with seven studs than with a hundred shitheads"
