It's an all the time thing. Let me first congratulate the staff on an exceptionally great issue. I subscribe to APJ at home and always enjoy reading the many opinions offered on a range of topics but especially on military ethics and morality. Therefore, the Summer edition really caught my eye. In my opinion, these words couldn't have more diverse meanings.
Values are personal.
They are derived from the virtues of our society. Maybe personally, but not throughout the military or society as a whole. Some examples will hopefully illustrate my point. In the US military, the virtues of courage, integrity, and taking responsibility for one's actions are not negotiable. Using the word values to describe these virtues leads one to think they can pick and choose which ones they will use to guide their lives.
