AW: Patriotismus/Nationalismus
Soldier cvb1989, thanks for your reply. I agree with you, that an army is nescerary for defending the own country, the continent ( in our case Europe) and the democratic values we love, the freedom of religion, press, sexual and racial preference. Unfortunately indeed, this world is no paradise and the perverted love for power and money are always a danger of good life together with all people. So, in that way, on behalf of that values I would wear my uniform with proud and dedication. You may call that partiotic, I myself prefer to not use that word, also not the word nationalistic. Those words can be used in a good sence, but history proves how slightly and easily those words become sources for false sentiments and degradation of other people and countries and points of view.
Were you in the army anyway?
gr. peter
