When I went thru Marine boot camp in 1961, we used to have to recite a mantra every night after lights out, while laying at attention in our bunks.
Part of it had to do with what our priorities should be: "God, country, Marine Corps, family..."
Society has flip-flopped some of these over the years. I suppose it comes down to what your own beliefs are.
Situational ethics?
Surely family comes before Marine Corps!
It's "God, wife, child, Texas, USA" in my house...
