I certainly would not commit self-sacrifice in the name of altruism for my country.
However, if I were faced with the statist civilian enslavement of old versus the (relatively) capitalist governing of the U.S., I would gladly die for my own sake.
Nope, and the person that I would die for is moving to another country soon, so you can't use the logic of dying for my country because she is in it :? Dying for my country would be pointless.
No. I wouldn't go into a war and die despite winning it. I'll just be a name on a long list of fatalities; I'll be forgotten like everyone else. I'd rather live than die in such a way...
I would die for the United States of America and Colombia if my country is in desperate need, but I am not shedding an ounce of my blood for Bush's oil rade war.

Claiming that Bush has gone to war over economics rather than ideologies is an ignorant appeal to emotion.
Go ahead; you can admit that Bush wants to help the Iraqis be freed from tyranny. It does not make the war any more justified.
When I say I would die for my country, I dont mean like die to just die. I mean if we were going to be invaded and many people were going to die. I would die for the people in my country. Thats what the country is, its people, not some hunk of land or a corrupt government.
"The heights of popularity and patriotism are still the beaten road to power and tyranny; flattery to treachery; standing armies to arbitrary government; and the glory of God to the temporal interest of the clergy."
Depends on the situation. In a literal sense, like it was my life or America, I'd be a martyr. But if you mean dying to aid the country's pursuit of oil or something, then no.
I wouldn't even take an "insult" for my country(much like mike tyson, I have to retaliate lol)--hopefully, that doesn't make me any less american though.
