If you want to see people take a pledge with feeling, watch some soldiers just out of bootcamp take their oath of service. After 13 weeks of hell in bootcamp, you can see the pride in their eyes.
Or watch some immigrants take their citizenship oath after going to night classes and taking a test to get in.
The Pledge of Allegiance is just a bunch of words taught at the same time as the alphabet song and recited with the same feeling.
I'm just a cynic. To me, words are all bullshit and only actions matter. If we ended up in WWIII, I'd be on the front line.
