This responsibility resides with us because unlike those policy makers, we devote our lives to the protection and often times the taking of lives. Ethical leaders understand the enormity of this responsibility with which they are trusted. The taking of human life, more than any other action, injects a tangible sense of the…

    Trust, military expertise, honorable service, esprit de corps, and stewardship are the five characteristics of the Army Profession.1 Each characteristic contains its own level of significance in the Army. It’s arguable that no characteristic can be more prestigious than the other. However, my experience in the Army has taught me that all these characteristics can be tied to trust. Trust is the blood that allows the Army to thrive, supplying life both to its surrounding people and to its internal organization. Trust brings unity, raising morale between leaders and their subordinates. Not only do we rely on each other’s knowledge and expertise for guidance, but the American people also rely on us to serve and protect our nation’s land. They rely on our guardianship, our honorable service, and entrust that our timeless morals, traditions, and values will remain intact throughout the change of leadership.…

    My character has always been an important concept within my life. This is because character is comprised of honesty, selflessness, and compassion. No matter what the situation is, it has always been imperative to me to be honest with not just those around me, but with myself.

    Having character is being trustworthy, honest, empathetic and respectful. This means doing the right thing even when nobody's watching. I always search for the best in everyone because no one is perfect and we all have made poor decisions in our lifetime. I take responsibilities in my actions and others I am responsible for. It is difficult for me to admit that I am wrong but I still do because it is the right thing to do. I have had a friend who was suffering from depression and wanted to harm themselves. I was scared for them because depression is a disease and it is not their fault that they are like that. I had them speak to an adult and they are currently recovering. I was very scared that she had cut marks on her wrist because it could have gotten worst. I cried because I did not want to lose a friend. On a field trip, I found a five dollar bill on the pavement. I asked the first adult I saw who was slightly ahead of me if it was hers. She said that it must have dropped out of her purse when she was walking. The teacher was really surprised because she said I could have easily kept it for myself. I would feel bad if I took someone else’s money even if it was just lying…

    America's society today is going through rough times; times where America is looking to its military protect and represent them. This military needs fight for every freedom the American people have, as well as to be its voice across seas to those it interacts with, to be its eyes seeing what the real situation is, to be its ears in hearing all that cannot be heard from the television sets of American homes, and to be its brain in understanding what is actually going on and why. However, this is not what is happening as this country is at war. The soldiers are fighting and protecting, but the people of America have different political and moral views than that of its protectors. These people are not on the front line, and they are not going through what the military is going through, but simply taking what they can from the media and their civilian leadership. All of this is contributing to a gap that is forming between the American public and its military. Within Gordon Trowbridge's essay "Today's Military: Right, Republican and Principled," these important issues are highlighted, concluding that the Civilian-Military gap that has been apparent since Vietnam is influenced by the military's apparent conservatism, higher values, and different lifestyles, as well as their questioning of civilian leadership.…
