Duty, Honor, Country

Duty and honor are still clearly important, but I think globalization and interconnectivity are slowly revealing the folly of "country". For the sake of brevity, I should acknowledge that I think nationalism is silly. When I hear "patriotism" I hear "my country is better than your country because I was born here".

In order for there to be an "us" there has to be a "not us".  We need to get rid of that nonsense and think bigger then our small little worlds. Humanity is far larger and more interconnected than petty labels can give justice to.

I don't believe national origin is any more relevant than foot size. The only thing that matters is what you DO. Your successes, your failures, your interaction with your fellow human beings, these are the things that define you. I want to see people help each other, not because of their color, or what flag they pledge allegiance too, but simply because they are another human being in need of help.
