Yes, but it's patriotic morons who call those psychopathic fucks 'heroes'.
Many of them are also religious morons. That's three of the craziest, most destructive human inventions that often occur in a cluster- .
There are more.

Patriotism celebrates the culture of ones own country and nationalism celebrates the culture of ones
own country. However there is a difference between these. Which is that the latter does so from the
perspective of superiority while the former does not and it is important to understand this distinction
And therefore while I have no problem declaring myself a patriot I cannot declare myself a nationalist

As Samuel Johnson said in 1775, "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel."
