Still haven't gotten an answer to why patriotism is an American obligation.
"Because" isn't quite as satisfying as it sounds.

Why does "because" not sound satisfying? You should be a good sibling, parent or child just "because" too. That's good enough for me.
I think being patriot became a big deal during the world wars, anyway - Hitler and ideas of world domination. Is it really so bad to believe in something that you'd risk your life for it? The American dream, etc is pretty corny but still true to an extent. How about freedoms we have here that do not exist in other countries?
