to think your country's better than any other country to be a patriot, you just have to like your country better. The words love and devotion don't carry a sense of absolute favoritism. You don't have to dislike every other country in the world to consider yourself a patriot. If you do, then you've gone past patriotism and into nationalism.

If your devoted to ONE country you would do anything for the country...this could mean war couldnt it?
Well naturally, as long as you feel the war is justified. And if you don't, that's why we have Conscientious Objector Status.
I think I'm lost.
