I completely disagree. Those words, to me, are principles that are not for sale. I do not restrict those sentiments to my "tribe", such as it is; but I do apply those values in my life. I live honorably, and I am loyal to those I love.
And yes, those concepts can impel me to take up arms in their defense. When I die, the only thing that will remain of me is my good name. I'll be goddamned if I leave this mortal coil having abandoned my honor.
