Losing sense of nationalism

The final year of my dads service
Most of you don't know me but you veterans on the site may remember me.
My dad is in his final year of service in the Army and the last two years he had to live away from our family. He didn't have to go to Iraq or anywhere outside the U.S.
Anyway, the past couple of years a thought kept coming up in my head: Where do my loyalties lie?
As a Christian my loyalty belongs soley to Jesus. As an American I have pledged my loyalty to the U.S.since kindergarden.
I've become disturbed with the direction that the world as a whole has taken and I can see that the only way the world will be able to survive is when the world can rid itself of nationality. This is also disturbing to me for obvious reasons.
I'm thankful to have grown up in the U.S. but the politics has started to separate us for the second time. Leaders of both major parties play to the lobbiest and companies. Nothing that is really important gets done due to the argueing in Washington. It's become very disappointing.
With all this being said I have decided that when my dad retires from the Army, I will no longer swear my allegiance to the United States. I will continue to honor the soldiers that have died in wars to preserve freedom but other than that, nothing else will be said or done.
