The Patriotists

Those who espouse patriotism.

But some marry patriotism. They need the rush continuously.

Must, for them, the national 'self' always be at war with some 'other'? It certainly keeps life thrilling for a person to imagine all that might happen. The possibilities are endless.

Just how likely some things are to happen, though - that's another story entirely.
