Pardon me for using absurdity to show that I believe that I am duty bound to follow all the laws I swore to uphold.

I would gladly be killed conducting myself honorably than to discredit myself and my country and live.

I don't want to die, and I don't want my brothers in arms to die, but I live by the words duty, honor, country. I take the responsibility and burden that those words bring with them seriously.

If you are ever in a firefight, we will arrange to put that on your tombstone. Me?
I prefer the words from a real warrior: You are not here to die for your country! You are here to see that the other sumabitch dies for his country! (or ideology or religion or whatever.)

Pardon me for not reading the entire thread. You write as though you are on active duty in the service. Is that the case? If so, in what capacity?
