Answer 1
In the Old Testament God said "Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth" means you can fight against your enemy to protect your country, but in the New Testament it doesn't say that so its really confusing should you follow the new testament but not the old testament? Bible is the true word of God follow the word.
Answer 2
The Bible says nothing on the subject of patriotism and that is because such a concept, loyalty to a nation-state's fundamental rasion d'être, did not exist in the Biblical Period. In the Old Testament, the Israelite are commanded to take the land and hold onto it against foreign aggression, but in those days, if you lost your land your were liable to be slaughtered, so it was self-preservation. Modern patriotism and fighting for your country is a question of prestige and personal choice. This is beyond the scope of the Bible.
Most Christian theologians do not hold that the "Turn the other cheek" passage refers to international conflict and defense of your life and freedom are endorsed by the current churches.
