I Don't Understand
Why do people keep saying soldiers served and fought for THEIR country - the country THEY are from, in a country where they help innocent people who are oppressed and persecuted? They fight for THOSE people.
For the country they're IN, not FROM!
Why would people even say they fought for their own country? To make it look good for e.g. winning a war? I mean, I get that people can be proud of their troops for winning a war and thus saving thousands of lives, but doesn't that mean they primarily did it for the country in which they fought in?
Idk, to me, whenever I hear someone talk about soldiers fighting for "their" country they come off as some overly patriotic, perhaps even chauvinistic idiot.
