6. They believe in being loyal to people, not principles.
When a person you were loyal to violates deeply held principles, you are supposed to abandon the principles and remain loyal to the PERSON. That's their concept of "honor."

Others amongst us believe that there is and should be no loyalty other than to principles. You are loyal to people for so long as they uphold the principles you share with them. When they violate those principles, you have no choice but to abandon them. THAT is REAL honor.
