Personal integrity isn't an integral part of a free society. Though the concept of having leaders that posses grand integrity is a nice fantasy, in reality, history has displayed a multitude of leaders that had horrible personal lives. An example can be seen in the most recognizable face of the civil right movement, Martin Luther King; though he led a movement that ensured freedom for entire races of people he had a storied history of womanizing in his life, many believe he had dozens of illegitimate children. However, despite personal integrity not being essential, martyrdom is an essential component. Though many of the champions of history haven't had the greatest personal lives, they have all possessed the quality of unwavering sacrifice for the people they love. Though the good doctor cheated on his wife with many women, the man took a bullet for the cause he believed in. Personal integrity isn't a necessity for leadership, however, the need for sacrifice always will be.
