Which is just about the stupidest thing I've ever heard. A flag, really, is nothing more than a piece of cloth with a design on it. If your ability to fight, as a soldier, is hinged emotionally or mentally on where your flag is, then taking yourself out of the gene pool by being a solider is probably exactly the job for you.

Ugh. I'm venting here, but the warrior-culture meritocracy the government of my country has implemented thoroughly disgusts me.
