I'm with you up until that "unflinching" part. Duty motivated by loyalty to fellow soldiers and country -- excellent. Like baseball, hot dogs and apple pie, that's something I'm all for. But when you throw "unflinching" in there, you've got a trite cliche instead. I know plenty of people who have served. Most of them flinch at some point. If Chris Kyle never once flinched on his way to killing hundreds of people one at a time with a rifle, do you really think that's a good thing?

Who does? It never would have crossed my mind to suggest that you root for the people who cheered when the towers went down.
