Patriotism

It was a dull day and all I could hear was the marching of soldiers passing by. There was constant rumbling from explosions and gunfire. The U.S was getting attacked. Another country is trying to take over. Where is the army we don’t have one. I would have been terrified if that was really happening but, it's not because we still have patriotism. Patriotism still matters, if it didn’t then we probably wouldn’t have an army.
If patriotism didn’t matter there would be no love for are country. No one likes are country no one would fight for it because that is one reason people join the army because they have pride for their country and they are willing to fight for it. So if there is no army it wouldn’t be too safe. There is other countries that don’t have an army. It would be easy to take over the country but, somehow they don’t get taken over. It isn’t smart not to have an army. That’s why patriotism is still important. Also if there is no army they might have a draft. If we didn’t have patriotism the people that came over from England wouldn’t have came over and they wouldn’t have fight the English. To save our country from being ruled by a King.
Since we do have patriotism we have an army and currently they are fighting in Iraq. Also it would be safer because it would harder to take over. There is also benefits in having pride in your country. There is more reasons to celebrate holidays. One holiday is 4th of July. That is when are country became independent. Patriotism is not all about the army but that is probably the most important. It can help the economy by celebrating more holidays and helps create more jobs. Like when people shoot off fireworks someone has to make them.
Patriotism helps us with defending are country with the army. Also it helps the economy by creating jobs for people. If we didn’t have patriotism are country would be a wreck.
