fighting the “the motive of service to others is intrinsically virtuous” windmill/strawman.
Would that it were a windmill/strawman.… but sometimes dysfunctional families teach their less-favored children to believe it, and I’d say that some nations certainly go in for it now and then.
Admittedly, this isn’t service to others in general, it’s to some specific person or organization which wants the service, and that changes the concept somewhat.
