Are you willing to fight and/or die for your country?

just because somebody lives in another country doesnt deny them the right to criticize another country. if a country is doing something wrong, the people who say so shouldnt be required to be living in that country to be taken seriously.

i also have family members in the Armed Forces (in Iraq as we speak), and do i get all huffy-puffy when somebody mentions the My Lai Massacre? \"we were defending FREEDOM!!\", right? I am an American (whatever that means, anyways), and i dont see any problem with disagreeing with our actions, both domestic and international.

patriotism is dangerous. esp blind patriotism.
