Pass The Ammo

I came across this in Heaths Soldier Handbook. I was just thinking of how rare it is to find civilians who were taught these values growing up. Less and less are there kids out there who believe in such principles and apply them. More and more there are kids following after the thug rap sub-culture, that preaches nothing but filthy language, filthy attitudes, and filthy lifestyles.

It is really is too bad they don’t make ‘em like they used to. Take these few values and apply them to yourself, starting today.

A Courageous Soldier:
• Controls fear in phyiscal and moral contexts
• Takes responsibility for decisions and actions
• Accepts responsibility for his own mistakes and shortcomings
• Confronts problems directly and takes action based on what he belives is right, regardless of what others may think
• Speaks up for what he believes is important and then is gracious wether his ideas are accepted or rejected
• Reports on successes and failures with equal candor
• Puts them self on the line to deal with important problems
• Challenges others to make tough decisions
• Always shares mistakes if it will help the team improve
