It's the last scene of the film. The hostages have been rescued. His face covered in soot and ash, our bloodstained, battle-scarred hero presses the weary heroine to his manly chest. Through the smoke someone raises the Stars and the Stripes and the hero blinks back tears as he salutes the flag as The Star Spangled Banner starts playing... It seems that there really are Americans, whose concept of patriotism is summed up by this sort of scene. I guess those people will never understand why the rest of us find it so very funny.
My hope (and belief) is that most Americans (and certainly Mudcatters) would be able to describe their patriotism in a more adult way. I would like to hear from you (and people of any other nation too) about what things really make you proud of your country.
