So if you are supposed to die for your country, then you are not supposed to die to save your burning child screaming DADDY because your ultimate duty is to serve your country and not your offspring? That is what you are basically saying, that loyalty to your country take priority over and above anything else in your life. Look at it however you want, but no matter the angle, there was no spin.
The question posed is "Would you die for your country?", not "Would you die for your country if your house was burning and your child was crying daddy from inside the house while the Army bus pulled away?"

Keep digging your hole Costanza.
