I'm 41 now, but by the time I am 80 (if I live that long) we will all see the multigenerational long term effects of no longer indoctrinating the youth to the notion that it is right to be loyal to your country. 

I've done Catholic and public school and went to a lutheran college and a mostly Jewish grad school.  I don't think much of that mattered, plus public schools hammer the pledge, too.

Anyways, a country, religion, brand or person should be able to earn praise and loyalty without being drilled into people's heads. Indoctrination being required and so heavily leaned upon doesn't strike me as being particularly positive. 

It reminds me of sitting at those teen youth rallies where we were told that bowing to peer pressure is stupid and you don't have to just mindlessly follow the crowd.  Now let's all chant the same thing and believe what we say about Jesus or you're going to hell.
