Patriotism has always been a selfish feeling.It is just a tonic to unleash the inner maniac. It is mostly associated with violence.Beyond a point,it is the subjective perception that matters.When some body tries to attack you ,one-on-one , you try to block it calling defense mechanism.Assume, you multiply this defense mechanism by thousand and the goverenment consent in killing ( not murdering) the "ENEMY" is not punishable by law,there you have the definition for patriotism.I want to call the synonym for patriotism is self-will.
