I heard a lot of soldiers speak about Army values in my 23 years but very few live by them.

I did everything I could to live by those values. But then I've nearly always held myself to a higher standard than my peers. For this reason, my bosses always got worried if I appeared to be mixed up in anything that their stellar example of a perfect soldier should not be doing. Totally not fair, but it worked out better, because they believed me when I explained what happened even without evidence. When you have a reputation for honesty and good judgement, that pretty much follows. Referring to what I said about Honor and Integrity, I'm convinced that if I ever lost either of those, everyone would know something was off because that just wasn't "like" me.

Did you sir? You might have commanded your men sir but it takes respect to actually retain what the commander says no matter how simple or unimportant the enlisted think. If they have respect they would've listened and had the self respect to follow those values.

I was in the reserves for my entire career other than two tours in Iraq. I always did my job to the best of my ability and never tried to get out of a deployment knowing someone else would have to go in my place. I would say that's about as selfless service as it gets.

Since I am not Army, I will speak for my self. Love of country is the glue that binds us, despite what some may say.
