You forgot something.....



You first.

Unless you have none, then that means you are searchin to model your life after one that pleases you.

Freud would have fun with this...Dad, Anne, Jung and the other one.

God...Family...Country

In that order...because God is constant, the true measure of a man or woman is how they love and guide their families, and Country last since even the best of governments can become corrupt and brutal.  I love my country...but it is not worthy of unquestioning devotion or cult worship.

For me, God and Family are the same thing. Country? Well, that's a different thing. Its bearing relies on how other people place their priorities, thus it goes thissaway sometimes and thattaway other times.

Family then country. Put God in whereever if you feel the need.
Unquestioning devotion to anything is foolish but you never abandon your family, or country. If they're doing wrong in your eyes fight to change that but never turn your back to and walk away from either of them.

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).

Like no member of the service has ever been left hanging out to dry?  You take care of the guy next to you.  Screw the guy in charge until he's there.

Besides, you get orders from GOVERNEMENT, not Country.  Country is more an ideal.
