Casey, whose 'beliefs and values' are you asking about?

As a citizen of another nation, i want to say
the obvious outpouring of help given by Americans as individuals, to those directly hurt from various catastrophes, speaks volumes about the values and beliefs of American citizens. The obvious and final overwhelming anger during the Vietnam war, about not only American casualities, but the questionable integrity of south vietnam authorities, the napalm, agent orange, and suffering of Vietnamese civilians, spoke volumes about the true values of the American people.

Or are your asking about the beliefs and values of those who are, or have been in high positions of authority and trust within your nation ?

Giving 'lip service' to one's stated beliefs and values, is not unique. In fact many of us, could be declared guilty...... unfortunatedly, one's position of power, can have devasting effects on others, when one gives lip service only..... ...
