You're right. What it shows is a lack of interest in following the rules and customs of a "foreign" culture you're trying to enter. Just as this casual, indifferent attitude doesn't endear you to us, it would most certainly not endear you to whatever foreign culture with which you may find yourself attempting to gain rapport. No rapport, no mutual respect--no mutual respect, no chance of accomplishing your mission. This means you're a failure to your team, the Army and your nation. Congratulations, Mr. Self-Imposed Failure.
Every little bit counts. The things you practice, intentionally or unconciously, are the things you will do when things get tough. What can you do or improve today to ensure success tomorrow?
