The Army Values permeate everything the Army does. You find them in Army publications, speeches, and training (from NCOES to NCODP). We even rate Soldiers on values on their NCOER. Yet, with all this focus on values, the Department of Defense's policy on homosexuals in the military, commonly referred to as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", sends the message that integrity is unimportant, as long as you don't get caught!
