HonorHonor

12

“Honor is the capacity to control the instinctive selfishness that lurks in all of us. It is the tough case-hardened ability to put morality ahead of expediency, duty ahead of deviousness – and to do it instinctively and every time. Honor also means pride in excellence – of every kind; especially excellence of performance.” --General Mark Clark

““A cadet does not

lie, cheat, or

steal, nor tolerate

those who do””

“Duty is the sublimest word in the English language. You should do your duty in all things. You can never do

more. You should never wish to do less.”—General Robert E. Lee

• Drugs/Alcohol

• Hazing

• Sexual Assault

“The one mode or the other of dealing with subordinates springs from a corresponding spirit in the breast of the commander. He who feels the respect which is due to others cannot fail to inspire in them

regard for himself, while he who feels, and hence manifests, disrespect toward others, especially his inferiors, cannot fail to

inspire hatred against himself.”—Major General John M. Schofield
