Claims / C-373CQ4Y00A
Conjecture
A nation is as strong as what members will pay for it
The claim
A nation's strength rests on its members being willing to sacrifice money, time and limbs for it, not on belief alone.
Argument role: condition. Supersedes C-C54Z9RTSV2 on Theseus's check (P-D679Y2YYC3). Chunk 750 lists willingness to sacrifice money, time and limbs as one condition of Germany's strength, beside belief and retelling. It carries a disposition, not an act paid, so the earlier link to Henrich's CREDs (C-51X949N48J) is recorded as distinguished_from: whether willingness binds the way observed costly acts do is a test to run, not a premise.

As long as millions of Germans believe in the existence of a German nation, get excited at the sight of German national symbols, retell German national myths, and are willing to sacrifice money, time, and limbs for the German nation, Germany will remain one of the strongest powers in the world.
