The US is still a young country. They are currently in their (perhaps declining) outward expanding imperial militaristic stage. For this, excessive patriotism is required, is absolutely necessary.
It has been the same for any outwardly expanding empire, from the British, French, Spanish, German in more recent times back to the Roman / Greek days.

The parent comment already mentions Romans, so you can't count the various Roman tribes collectively known as Germania under "Germany".
