Blind devotion to your employer or country is not a virtue, but a naive idealism. Honor is just a general heuristic for doing good, it's not the good itself. Doing good is done on a case by case basis, ideals are just a guide. We have to evaluate all our actions with an ethical criticality.

"I'm just doing my job" is a classic deflection of responsibility. If you do not believe your job is ethical or moral or compatible with your beliefs, then to continue to do it is indeed blind devotion. Just because you are paid to do it has nothing to do with what's right.
