I also served in the military but I would never say that just because I did that you and I see things the same way. It gets even harder when two people are from different countries.

Whether or not there was a disagreement or not, there wasn't any reason to make personal attacks. The only thing I was trying to say was that I understood Liliara's viewpoint. She used the word that was provided. If someone outside of the US views our patriotism to a level that exceeds their own patriotism, so be it. Maybe from that perspective, it can be learned that the word is not the best word to describe us. That's all I was trying to say.
EDIT: Sorry, I kind of trailed off there. I totally agree with you, but sometimes people can get carried away in a discussion. That's how it felt to me, that things kind of got out of control there.
