Does loyalty to your family supersede your loyalty to your government?

Does loyalty to your family supersede your loyalty to your government? i believe that, every time, family comes first. at least when talking about close family. if my dad, mom, or jj were in trouble with the government i would have absolutely no problem breaking a law or lying to try to get them out of trouble. i find it ridiculous that during the civil war families would be so split betwenn north and south that young brothers would fight for opposite sides. there would be brothers that would kill each other in battle over a few details in government. there would be no way i would fight against my brother in a war. there have been times when cops have called me because jj knows i'll lie to them too keep him out of trouble for a little longer. it didnt work but by god we tried! and there is no way i would ever sell out my parents for any reason to the government. and dont even get me started on my grandma and grandpa! no way. the point is, there is no doubt in my mind who would come first between my government or my family

  1. Sounds like you have some strong opinions. You say that well when you talked about the fighting in the civil war. I wouldn't fight against my brother either, well maybe. But you’re right.
