I know it may seem to be stupid, but esprit de corps is major thing in the military. I would venture to say more important that patriotism, when it gets real. You called it a job, which military service is not, just a job. People who just go to work in the military do not make it, and get other people killed. I do not care what they name a boat, plane, or tank, provided it does not damage a units esprit de corps.never have. never have claimed to be.
I just hope that our military is strong enough to overcome this.
