So in essence you have a problem with a commitment of loyalty to your country, because you disagree with some of the politics?

Pretty much. I put being a world citizen far above being an American citizen. I don't find any benefit in nationalism, and I find lots of detriment. As for the flag, again, I'm aware that the flag is a symbol of the nation, and this is useful for various visual purposes. Verbally pledging allegiance to a flag just seems really stupid when it isn't any more difficult to pledge allegiance to the actual country.
