Respect

11

“The discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle is not to be gained by harsh or tyrannical treatment. On the contrary, such treatment is far more likely to destroy than to make an army. It is possible to impart instruction and to give commands in such a manner and such a tone of voice to inspire in the soldier no feeling but an intense desire to obey, while the opposite manner and tone of voice cannot fail to excite strong resentment and a desire to disobey. 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, Address to the Corps of Cadets, U.S. Military Academy, August 11, 1879

Honor

20

“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

respect to suicide

• We need to DO THE LEADERSHIP

THING, which is to ACT (A-C-E)

36

Everything should drive toward that big idea

• Brothers: Army SSG Kevin Allen; former AF Airman Jason Allen

• Both “veterans” of annual Suicide Awareness & Prevention training

• Kevin: “I have to be honest. I couldn’t have cared less about the training. And nobody in the room could. We sat through it every single year.”

• In 2009, Kevin was concerned about his brother but took no action…he wanted to intervene, but he wasn’t sure how…

• A week later Jason killed himself.1

The Problem --The Statistics2--

• Suicide is third leading cause of death among

persons aged 15-24 years

• Among 15- to 24-year olds, suicide accounts for

20% of all deaths annually

• Among 15- to 24-year olds, there are

approximately 100-200 attempts for every

completed suicide

The Problem --The Challenge--

• Half suicides in military are troops who

never saw war

• Other factors include relationships, drugs &

alcohol, or money problems

• “Suicide is not like food poisoning, where

you find out what is in the salad bar and you

go and remove the tuna salad”3

• No single demographic, no sure-fire criteria

“If we get to the point -- and we're trying -- where young men and women trust each other enough that if they feel these impulses, that they will approach a battle buddy or wingman or shipmate -- whatever we happen to call them -- with their fears, their anxieties, their stresses, and that the battle buddy cares enough about them to trust the chain of command to deal with them, then I think we'll make a difference.”—General Martin E. Dempsey, CJCS, 25 Sep 12
