Having grown up in a era and social class in which narcissism and money worship hadn't yet provided the primary moral value of Americans, I find arguments against serving the nation that serves you rather thoughtless and empty. If one enjoys the fruits of a society does one have no responsibility to that society? Let's face it no state of nature exists, and if it did the weenies would quickly die off as their primary work is whining about the government that provides the structure and stability in which they live and mostly pout. Have a DI scream at them and they'd run back to mommy anyway, but hey, it would be fun watching.
This isn't about serving society, it's about serving the government. But no one should be forced to do either.
KevinKennedy, yes, verily yes, you have commitment, regardless of what you think, to the social compact. Americans always have, and Americans always will. That you dislike it is not evidence.
