The people screaming 'Merica! piss me off the most. Patriotism baffles me. Don't take that the wrong way. I love the opportunities this coutry has afforded me. I joined the military in a time of war to do what I had to do to "earn" my freedoms. I didn't then, and don't now, believe in the war. But I went, nonetheless, and did my job. So let's not call my love of my country into question. But I will say this, if I had been born in Iraq 30 years ago, instead of Montana, I would have been shooting at the Americans carrying rifles in MY country... the same way I would be shooting at the Russians or Chinese if they came marching into Portland, Oregon (where I live now). Patriotism, as an ideal, is just dumb. Where you are born should have no influence on your personal pride.
