I agree with SinatraFan about the Naturalized Citizens - many, many Americans born here would fail that test.  Heck - I'd probably have failed it myself 10 years ago   - but as I've matured, I educated myself about our Constitution, our history and our political system - I certainly didn't learn it in a public school.



And I agree that being pro-military doesn't make you a better American - but it DOES make you a little more aware of those who fought and died to protect freedom, and members of military families tend to show patriotism more consistently because they have very often suffered a loss of a loved one to the cause of liberty.  A lot of us take our freedom for granted; we don't know the difference between what is a Right and what is only a Privilege.  And these are the very ones who have just jumped on the patriotism bandwagon after the terrorist attacks.
