Value is measured in different ways. Universal brotherhood leads to peace and patriotism leads to competition. In terms of economic value, patriotism, if war is avoided, can produce a higher standard of living than can universal brotherhood.

At the world level that are too many differences to achieve what can achieved in a smaller nation. On the hand, if one is totally unselfish and want everybody in the world to have an equal opportunity, universal brotherhood is more valuable. The two ideas are not in always in direct conflict. Many people love their brothers but if forced to choose, keep most of their wealth for themselves and their family rather than give it to their brothers. Patriotism is like that. You can believe that all men are brothers, or at least say you so believe, but if forced to choose, serve your own country first.
Henry V is all about duty. Its main focus is on the responsibilities of a leader in wartime, and what makes a good leader under such circumstances. We see Henry reflecting on his duty as a king, both in conversation with his troops before the battle and in his soliloquy afterward.
