Wearing camo and American flag shit in public. Honestly just having American flags on anything now pretty much is the same as that read hat

It's pretty shitty how those loud people have ruined something that used to be awesome.

Was nationalism ever awesome? From an outside perspective it was quite disturbing and worrying.

There's nothing wrong with loving your country when it is doing the right things. Displaying pride in your country isn't necessarily nationalistic.

Okay, but we can debate whether or not America has been doing the right thing or not since it's inception. It really depends on whose perspective you are taking and which issues you are examining.

Sure, that's debatable and the answers will differ based on the individual subjects.
