You can't defend a country on patriotism. Sounds ideal. Sounds like a "higher" motivation than money.
But in truth, money, and self interest is the only thing that will successfully defend a country.
This country was founded, built, and defended by people looking out for their property and self interest, not for the interests of the "government" or a "flag."
The country is the people and it's property, not a flag and a government. And people will defend their property before they will defend their flag anyday, and rightfully so.
Hoorah!!
Dat shut NIK up! 😀
