Supreme Court Justice William O'Douglas once said "Security can only be achieved through constant change, through discarding old ideas that have outlived their usefulness and adapting others to current facts."
I've seen a fair bit of change in my life, in our society, our world and of course in the Army. Two coming holidays (Passover for Jews and Easter for Christians) include themes of transformation, both personal and national.
Our 'business' is the security of our nation; transformation and change are things we deal with as Army leaders all the time.
It's important to know what doesn't change! Whether it's your faith and spirituality, Army values or the warrior ethos, somethings don't need to change. Rather than giving you my principles, which are (hopefully) grounded in Torah, I ask that you consider the sources you can draw upon for your principles. You must know what values you rely on and stay with. Those you lead will know your principles. Do you?
