Importance of Integrity Within the Ranks and the Effect a Lack of Trust, Loyalty and Discipline Has on a Unit in Peacetime and in a Time of War

I would like to reveal first and foremost that Trust, Loyalty, and Discipline are three exceedingly furthermost important characters of a person and or soldier.
