Yes, Because You may have seen the movie Patton, in which George C. Scott gives a rousing speech. This movie moment is based off of a speech given to the Third Army just before the invasion of Normandy. It is a stirring speech - the likes of which may have disappeared, unfortunately, from the American political scene. Below is an excerpt from that speech which bears consideration in this post election period:"Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards. Americans play to win - all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost, nor ever will lose, a war. The very thought of losing is hateful to an American."

However, some people in the army are not patriots at all. Some are there because they need a job and can not find anything better. Some just like being soldiers and have no particular love for their country. Some are even disloyal and are traitors or spies.
