No one knows how long this renewed expectation of duty being done will remain in force. Hopefully, at least through the course of this war, and beyond. Every time an American of even moderately high profile neglects this expectation, they will be reminded of it by the public. And that is a very good thing.

A good thing Bump!

Doesn't surprise me at all. IMO, the Washington Post, NBC, and the United States Olympic Committee aren't bastions of American patriotism. For the most part, they're operated by people more concerned with political correctness then suppport for American interests around the world and ultimately American lives. Liberal idiots.

The second case went beyond ignorance to action.
NBC chose the day of the opening ceremonies of the Olympics to drain the red, white and blue from its peacock logo which is omnipresent on its broadcast programming.
The patriotic color scheme had been added in the aftermath of the 9-11 attacks. The timing suggests that the network does not wish to offend the world with jingoism.
That "restraint" has angered millions.
Can one of you guys find and post BEFORE and AFTER images of the NBC peacock?

The vast, vast majority of Americans are not called upon to do anything remotely dangerous. But they should do their jobs, and they should definitely follow the rule: "Know who you owe." Some organizations that botched the former did so because they lost sight of the latter, and they paid an instant price in the American public's esteem. Think Red Cross.

Indeed!
