How much does integrity matter to you? Is this the most important quality for our military members?

The story is about Brian Williams, but it ties into integrity. I know, for me, integrity was just about number one on the list what not to lose. Once you lose your integrity to someone it is almost if not impossible to get it back.

SGM Steve Wettstein I consider it to be very important! I believe there are a number of important qualities that work simultaneously with Integrity (loyalty, honor, etc.). Its the combination of these qualities that will define your leadership and how you are perceived by those who will follow you into any type of situation and it provides a glide path for those over you that you will follow in the tough situations - especially when no one is looking!

Integrity is the cornerstone of good character. In a profession such as the military where it is vitally important to be able to trust your brothers and sisters to your left and right a Soldier who lacks integrity loses any credibility as a team member and is ineffective. I would rather have a Soldier with integrity that has a 220 APFT score and a 29-marksman badge than a 300, 40/40 Soldier that I can't trust.

It is all that matters to me in terms of virtues. Without it, why do we don the uniform and what it represents?

Integrity is everything, the way I was brought up was that your word and action spoke volumes of a persons character. If someone is dishonest with me then that just burns a bridge of no return in my book. Integrity is the cornerstone of all Army values in the humble opinion.
