I learned that one of them was going home in a few weeks for leave. […]

[…]those in whom they have faith. Leadership, the hard currency of the military, relies upon that faith and should it ever be violated, the leader’s opportunity to lead is forfeited. The path to effective leadership and professional excellence is long, but begins for each of us with the simple act of looking into a mirror. Frank self-appraisal coupled with a genuine commitment to self-improvement, personal accountability and unyielding standards of conduct is the first important step to moral fitness and, ultimately, effective leadership.
