Patriotism to me, means supporting your troops. And beliving in your country, even if you don't agree fully with what they do.

My father is a CW4 and currently somewhere in the middle eastern Desert..
2 of my Brothers are Rangers. Both of which are somewhere in the middle eastern Desert.
another brother is a Marine. (retired)
And another is just Army (retired)

Just because I don't completely agree with The 'reasons' we decided to go to Iraq. I support the movement.
I've personally gotten in several fights with some jack off in a bar somewhere who's saying oh we ain't doing any good. or the Us army is a bunch of crap this and that.. Well the troops are not the ones who decide what we do.. its the politictians The Army has nothing to do with it. they just follow orders. Because if they don't they go to JAIL. yes thats right. not following an order given by a superior officer is a CRIME and you will go to military prison. Not to mention get a section 8, dishonorable Discharge from service.. And then where would you be? stuck with a family, children and no way to support them..


Sorry but I support my father and my brothers in their effort 100%.. =) that is patriotism to me
