Duty to country is not worth dying for because family obligations trump nationalism. CMV

Perhaps I'm a bad "patriot" or not much of a patriot at all, but I don't think there is anything inherently "good and proper" about dying for your country. First of all, nobody should be forced to fight and die for anything--it should always be a choice. Secondly, is one's country really a "cause", and a just one at that? What if your country were Nazi Germany? And who are you truly serving in dying for your country? Your family, friends and neighbors? Your government officials? Big oil companies? 

Duty to country, in my opinion, a sort of dumb. It is blind, nationalistic idea installed into the minds of the population in order to maintain a large military. Pop culture is full of Romanticized images, songs, and commercials about military fervor--"There's strong, and then there's ARMY strong." Joining the American military has become (or perhaps always was) something glorious and good. But how much thought does the common soldier put into what he is really fighting for? In my opinion, family obligations, or love in general, are far superior to devoting yourself to a war machine whose purposes you may not even agree with.

Your family is in your country, so doesn't anything that serves your nation also indirectly serve your family?  In the case of the modern army, it is not expected that the majority of members actually give their life (as Patton said "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his."), and the pay and experience they get from the steady work directly benefits their family.
