I personally love the creeds that we memorized, recited and told ourselves that we lived by. Unfortunately, I would see so many, who swore by these Creeds, pick and choose (by the way they lived) what they would actually adhere to within the creed that they loved so much.
My question are:
1. How important are Creeds to you?
2. Should Creeds be lived or just loved?
3. What has been your personal experience when creeds are failed to be lived up to?

Creeds only matter if you believe them and more importantly live them. Saying them and living them are not the same. The creeds I had, I lived by.

Col. Williams,
I feel the same way. I did my best to live by the creed. I didn't do it for the sake of the creed, but rather for the picture that that particular creed painted of the kind of soldier I strived to be.

I think creeds are about commitment and they serve as an ideal to strive for, they can serve as motivation or to build unity. So I think that they are useful.

I beleive they paint a picture or set the bar for soldiers, units, ranks etc. That if adhered to or followed, can be very effective and like you said motivational.

If you don't personally believe or live by whatever the creed says, it just becomes something that you repeat because you are forced to do so. I personally for example don't need a creed to tell me that as an NCO I need to take care of my Soldiers, it already comes with the territory.
