In the movies and TV series, we always see the heroes facing the dilemma of choosing between their families and their country.
The most famous example that comes to my mind right now is Jack BauerBauer. This psycho agent can do unimaginable, impossible things out of duty to his country and nation. Then the bad guys take his family hostage and "Puff" the hero starts shooting at federal agents to save his family.
So what's priority? If you found yourself in an impossible situation of choosing between your family and your country, which one would you choose?
Family first, or country first?
Personally I'd choose family, provided they are not doing something bad.
For example if they are conspiring to hurt other people, especially my own countrymen then I won't choose my family over my country. In that case, the feeling of doing what's right will outrank my love for the family.
But if there's an imminent danger against my country and my family, I'd see that my family is safe first. I give allegiance to a country to get security, livelihood and happiness in return. There is no point in serving your country, if you are going to sacrifice that
