I think patriotism and overwhelming love of ones country causes an individual to become thin-skinned when their country or government is raked over the coals.
The same is true for members of any organization.
This type of reaction can become tedious at times.
No nation or group is perfect. When a person can understand this and come to terms with this, said person can take such subjects in stride and get along with others better.
Criticism is a good teacher.
