[quote=Channler]Some of us are very devoted to our country and are having our lives and future entangled in it.

I for one, if ever shot down over enemy teritory (i plan to be a pilot in the USAF) would think of first, My God, 2nd My Family, and 3rd my country. And while thinking about my country I might not bust out in a patriotic melody (because I cant sing worth crap) but I would surely do somehting to publicly state my love for my country.

Just because you wouldnt do it for your country doesn't mean they're aren't others..[/quote]

Some might be thinking of their country, but I'm pretty sure that would be a minority. It's easy to say you'd think about things in that order when you're in a position to think about it at your leisure, but when a person is about to be killed, it's very hard to predict what they might be thinking. In virtually every case, I would think it would be a mix of fear, thoughts of escape, and thoughts of loved ones, though it's hard to say since a person won't exactly be thinking very rationally when they're about to be killed.

Anyone seen War of the Worlds? Its freaking awsome, I actually liked it better then the book.

Chumbaniya:

Well those soldiers at Iwo Jima must of been acting very irrational then to bring up the stars and stripes over the battlefield while getting shot at... Seems that most of them died to to hoist it up there.

To me that seems kinda patriotic, even in the face of death.

I just find it odd how many people are Anti-patriotic.. It's sad

Nationalism is a touchy point but it almost seems that we need to revert back to that idealogy more.

Simply put, I love my country. You should love yours to.

(Now the idiots of the bureacracy(SP) is something else, and no I'm not anti or for bush.. He's the president by choice of american voters, and there for he was chosen to lead)

BobV: Call it whatever you want but simply put, It happened, and almost all those men died doing it. Those men are hero's to me.

JonaJosa: Well I got a revolver, think that will help?

So you have no opinion because he was chosen by the people and that's all you need to know? you have to have some opinion, unless you are that apathetic. (not trying to be rude/mean/offensive)

Surely it was irrational to get killed putting up a flag? How is a flag worth someone's life?

Anyway, I'm not anti-patriotic at all (at heart I'm fairly proud to be english) but I would place my own safety and my friends and family above my country any day.
