tricky question...

if your country is at war with some other country but you know your country is wrong and they're right.. whom would you support?
would you support your country?
will it affect your patriotism?
will you become anti-national if you don't?

what is patriotism?
is it also supporting illegal activities your government does.. or
is it criticizing your government if its wrong and stopping your country from going wrong direction and wanting your country to become a better place to live

I would realize, after careful thought, that maybe the leaders of my country knew a heck of a lot more about WHY they went to war than I did. If I were privy to classified information, and I am not, then I might be able to understand the WHY. I would understand that sometimes leaders and the military arm of the government are intertwined...and that they ALL know more than I do.

Patriotism is a love of your own country. The USA, as one example, is filled with freedoms which allow us to protest and make our disagreements with the government's decisions known. The fact that we can protest, (if a permit is obtained in advance), is one of our freedoms...and as long as we are not violent, and do not break the law, we will NEVER be thrown into a prison camp if we protest or disagree.

This is why I love my country. We are able to speak...we are able to disagree.
