What is a patriot then? Someone willing to die for their country or someone to makes sacrifices for their country? Just last week, I painted a school (volunteer work) and I currently fix up donor computers to give to underprivileged youth. Am I not acting patriotically, or am I just helpful? Because I understood that to mean that I was trying to build a better future, in a completely non-partisan, non-policy, not-subject-to-interpretation, way. I'd like to think that selfless and concrete action is also patriotic. Is that not the case? If not then... well.. I'm not terribly skilled with weapons, not that strong, not that athletic, and my eyesight is kind of meh -- I'm not sure I can be that kind of patriot.
