Here's a fun ethical dilemma. A doctor has an ethical duty to his patients. Civil disobedience is the ethical action here.

The doctor chose his professional and moral code over the vision of American perfection. This may seem small but has big historical roots.

Physicians in Nazi Germany chose the vision of the Reich over duty to patients. They chose the State over Do No Harm.

So when a doctor chooses Do No Harm over the State, that is a not small thing.

You can be a proud patriot and not be beholden to defend the state over other matters. That is central to our modern world.

That's not ethical: that's indoctrinated.
