Ah, *that* kind of patriotism. Of course, with the recent problems here
with people in uniform, I wouldn't mind some of that sort of patriotism.

After all, there's a massive difference between respecting the fact that
some people are willing to put their lives on the line to protect ones
way of life, and sup****ting the decision to be putting those lives on
the line. A decision, which is usually made by people who've never even
contemplated that level of self-sacrifice. Bastards.
