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...
