Yes but leading by example when it deprives you of the security that you have worked so hard to attain doesn't make sense. As a parent I lead by example some times but it is not a universal constant and I see absolutley nothing wrong with telling my children "Do as I say not as I do" The USA destroying all its nukes will do ABSOLUTELY nothing to encourage India, Pakistan, Korea (north) China, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and several other nuclear possible state to get rid of theirs. I mean hey, we lead by example in many fields such as equal rights for women...I dont see any of those countries jumping on that "Lets all get along" band wagon and treating their women well...
