Mine lies with the truth.
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. ... Bertrand Russell

Doesn't the Country give orders to the Corps and thus the Unit? Seems like Country comes first then.

Family, followed by...Family followed by...Family.  Sounds selfish, but our country is run by corrupt politicians (both sides of the isle) and though I am a God-fearing individual, I find my strength and faith in my family first.

Curious what "British values" are?

Not a knock, or a slam. Just curious.

As for the question at hand. It would depend on my mood at the time and/or the subject at hand

Humanity, my family, the 308th.

I'm not a nationalist. Just because someone has the same Department of State granted credentials as I do doesn't mean they are more worthy of my goodwill than those who haven't.

To quote a canadian. My mind isn't for rent to any gods or government.:cool:

I always thought it was suppose to be"

1. God
2. Family
3. Work

I guess work and country go hand in hand.  Without one you wouldn't have the other.  On a large scale...If the economy fails, the country could fail  (Russia).
