Perfectly stated in my mind. I will not act in a war that I cannot support, but will readily defend my country in one that I must.
The US may be fucked up pretty badly and I may not like how it is being run in the least, but somewhere near its heart there are still, though twisted and roughed up, the values that we can back... And that makes it worth defending. We would
have to defend it from destruction so that we could take the time afterward to fix everything that we fucked up in the past few decades.
If it comes to it, I'll fight with that thought close to my heart.
