I agree with BigBen.
I have met some soldiers who were rather ignoble. Does this mean they are all that way? no, but it begs the question - what was a person's motive for choosing to do something? Motivation is a pointer to nobility.
I think RE identifiers, this depends on the audience. Amongst other Aussies, I'd say I was from Sydney; amonst Sydneysiders I'd say I was from Northern Sydney (or more specifically the suburb in which I live); amongst non-Aussies I say I was an Aussie. Context is important.
If I met a man in Turkey and said I was from "Asquith" he'd probably say "Where?"
