This goes with what I said in my post. Non-Americans don't have the emotional commitment to America's God, Government and Country.
The state is really emotionally conditioned into people here with the swearing to the flag, and pledging elegance all that stuff. Sounds like the indoctrination to a cult to me. Blind elegance to the state is why it's done, and as this thread proves it does work on a lot of people. I mean how can you not trust something you've been swearing and pledging to all of your lives? I guess it could feel a lot like betrayal to not trust the system to a lot of people.
