The whole point of patriotism has been limited to people who fight. If you join armed force for your country you are called a true patriot. Other than that you are barely called patriot. Your patriotism is rarely noticed.

OK, believed besides armed patriot rest all patriots enjoy convenient patriotism. They have not risked their life in so called warfare, which in my point of view is nothing but a mere political insanity, ego clash of bureaucrats where they send commoner to fight and claim victory.

Lets talk of soldiers. The other day I was watching an Indian movie called Heroes. Two guys setup for a journey to prove their point 'why not to join army'. They come across various situations where they are confronted with the facts of a soldiers life. They become aware of how a soldier sacrifices his personal happiness in order to save his country from being eaten up by others.

I don't think saving your country by killing other soldiers is an act of a true and a complete patriotism. You might be patriotic to your country, but u are not patriotic towards the world, towards humanity. You are machines. Machines operated by selfish politicians, who in the name of patriotism want to claim their victory wherever they want.

For me, if I have to consider any soldiers patriot, I would consider all those soldier who fight for United Nations peace keeping are true patriots. They go beyond borders, to protect people. I would consider Nepalese soldiers to be the most patriotic people in this world. They fight for India under Gurkha Brigade, They fight for United Kingdoms as Gurkha battalions. They fight for United Nations to bring peace in Africa and middle east. I consider American soldiers to be patriots who are fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan to establish peace over there. They are not fighting for America. They are not in their land hiding and shooting at their enemies. They are actually at the foreign soil trying to fight for them.

Its just my point of view.

Krishna Pokharel wrotes from Kathmandu via Asia Wall Street Journals relate that Nepal Royal Army had put conditions on Maoist warior prequisite that once had to be fit in physical and mentaly fit in order to be accept as an officialy army that enable the to get standard benefit equals with the existance personnel. Points to ponder is will they perform a true patriotism of that "kati kura" spirits  like spreadlove saying or they just another emblems of khukri devices that can sheeds  bloods that carmouflage the same colors of Nepali flags!!
