I think "honor" is a self delusion. It's something we "want" to believe in, but we don't really.
For example, Take a poor black kid in Detroit. The bulk of America doesn't want to even be around him, much less have him move next door. Even if the boy joins the Army, the U.S. doesn't care for him enough to pay him a wage to take care of his family. They don't wisely avoid unnecessary entanglements with rules of war that favor the enemy. They don't insure him with good health care to to take care of him if he is maimed, BUT, if he is killed, cars stop on the side of the road while his dead body passes in a false sense of "honor", and tear flow. All the while his widow and children will likely live in destitution. Honor indeed.
