OK so the Kings speech isn't an overt call to his arms, but still if you read it right - everything he wants kids to strive for is not really for themselves, but for their country. For the Fatherland! Since when did the founders idolize the country, and not the people of the country? As far as I know, the rules are "the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness" apply to the individual citizen striving for themselves, not their country. Plus where is the mention of becoming a great businessperson, and making a lot of money, supporting the economy and creating jobs? Nowhere. We should be successful for our own sake, not yours, buster! So are we going to have to deprogram our kids every year? Is he going to do this again?
