The soldier wears his values on straight from the Greeks. Patriotism, from the Greek patrios, of one's fathers. Did your mind just shudder, slightly? Father's? Shuddering is a symptom of the disease toxus patria detestus. Caused by a family of pathogens, including feministas disabusis veritas, democraticus sophistria disabusis veritas, var. Kennedias, Bidenasis, Reidiacus et. al. , all display similar effects. Some infections are especially virulent; for example primarias medias dinosaurus may be terminal. Besides shudders, symptoms include odd verbal malaprops, confusing chalk and cheese, lightning with lightning bug, and, indicative of the deepest infection, confusing acts of perfidy with acts of courage, and patria.
Examples of the infection surround us, and I needn't elaborate here. Thankfully, a reinvigorated band of medicines, also from the Greeks, among them the 4th ID-Athenian Hoplites, the Leonidas-Marine regiments, and many individual innoculations, are slowly reversing the spread.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -Romans 8
