That is a nice way to change a creed, and a nice direction to push it 
in.  The whole story kind of reminded me of the "Martha Washington Dies"

hospitals were crowded with sick and wounded; the walls were
gradually crumbling under incessant shell fire, yet that garrison
of heroes remained undaunted.

It was as Buck said, "just as if they had been Americans."
