Strongly disagree with all possible language. If you live in this land, you have obligations. It's everyones duty as a citizen to contribute something to the good of the nation. Be it military service or jury duty.
Theres nothing wrong with patrotism. BLind patriotism and flag waving however ill take issue with. The reason is because such ferver leads to viewing the world through rose tinted glasses or being out of touch with, or uanble to accept, the reality of the world. People with such patirotic zeal tend to not acknowlege our faults and mistakes;,and without acknowledging our faults and mistakes, we have little hope to improve.
On the same token, turning your back on your country, there are no words that fully convey my ill feelings for such people. Our country isnt perfect, not by a long shot, and we make major F'ing mistakes, but it's home, and that's worth defending or speaking out for.
