Is serving your country a higher calling...?
Than serving your city or state/province?
Is being a member of the military a more noble purpose than being, say, a firefighter or paramedic?
Further, would rather identify yourself by your nationality (Canadian, American, Brit, etc) or by your hometown or city or county?
I'm curious at to where people stand on this issue - over the years national pride and identity have been more important than civic identity, but equally, at other times local identity and pride has mattered more. Currently, I do identify as Canadian first, but in the past, my pride as Montrealer by birth has been more important.
