Describes actions of one who is willing to self sacrifice for the genuine good of ones country. Sometimes mistakenly described as those with blind loyalty and unwilling to question authority.
The amount of flags on a front lawn does not determine how patriotic a person is. A healthy mistrust of government is truly patriotic.

Patriot guy: I'm gonna join the Army and die for my country!!! Be a martyr!
Smarter patriot guy: I'm gonna join the Army and kill for my country!! Not that I'm afraid of death, but killing for my country will do it much greater good.

Right after 9/11, almost everyone in the US all of a sudden loved America. They were wearing flag shirts, hats, the flag itself, flag painted cars and trucks (more trucks than anything). On July 4 before 911, these people would put put their flag on their door, front yard or whatever and the day after, take it down. But boy, right after 911, they were spouting "fuck those arabs, I'm American", keeping that flag up 24/7. It really is sad because the people who all of a sudden became this patriotic after 911 should have been patriotic all along. Patriotism was being practiced by people who never really gave a shit before. They are also the ones who believe that everything that happened on 911 was all done by a terrorist group thousand of miles away.
911 believer: My flag is so cool, this is real patriotism. I got my flag car, and all the other bullshit poser patriotic stuff to show I'm down with the US.
