This doesn't mean they'd support any war the Government would lead them into, but the fact that most of them think it's worth dying for a nation's glory and stuff... this just sounds so out of place in the XXIth century it makes them look rather dumb, like they've been lied to and unconsciously forced to believe they're somewhat superior cause oh wow the US rules all other countries ¬¬' I don't know, this is just the feeling I get when I speak to American people. It's only natural that they love their country but then again they should understand that people from other places want the best for their own nation so they'll fight for their rights just as much. But no, they gotta be the center of the world and be there to set things up their way... that's how such a reputation's built.

Right on!
I very much agree with your statement
Technically speaking America is a continent not a country
Anyway, I read an article in a local paper about the most nationalist countries, and the us ranked No1
2 other countries that followed were Venezuela, and Ireland
The least nationalist countries were Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan
