egotistical people who are stuck in old paradigms of the status quo. As a Soldier‚ I feel that personal courage is one of the most important of all values. It is not a value that stands alone‚ but rather one that encompasses all of the other Army Values. Courage is most commonly viewed as physical in nature; many do not realize that true courage comes from the ability to overcome mental not physical challenges.

Army Wives Wendy Agbay Baker College The American public’s perception of military spouses is skewed due to a lack of information and incorrect media interpretation. Military spouses must be willing to sacrifice‚ as well as have courage and integrity to make their family work under extreme circumstances. This cannot be portrayed in the media accurately. Television shows such as Army Wives makes light of what a military spouse has to endure. In turn‚ this hurts the reputation of the military
