On a slightly different track, I have a real problem with the whole " God and Country" mentality. As Jesus said, " You cannot serve two masters..." When push comes to shove, either loyalty to God, or Country ( or self) will prove itself the stronger loyalty.

I was watching the Leher NewsHour today, Mark Shields pointed out that Sen. Jim Webb, who served in Vietnam doesn't wear a flag pin while Dick Cheney, who got several deferments in order to pursue his "other priorities" does.
A pin doesn't change what's in someone's heart or gut.
