Uncouth
I personally do, in fact, wish to be uncouth, after my own fashion. But I find doing so very difficult. The shame is too much.
I wish, by contrast, that my country would never behave in an uncouth manner, and here I have been repeatedly ashamed of my country's behaving since ... well, certainly Watergate was the tipping point, although I remember being four years old in 1965, looking the pictures in a newspaper (either the *Star* or the *Tribune*; I think they were still published as separate papers in those days), and asking my parents what the little explosion symbols on the map of Southeast Asia were for.
As for any military abiding treaty obligations ... who was it said "Trust, but verify"? Not the "Genghis Khan with a Telephone" guy — the other one, the American.
