Amerykanie i Brytyjczycy mają wbity do głowy patriotyzm Patriotic pride is hammered into them from youth).
Nigdy nie żartujemy z ich oddania dla ojczyzny, dumy z armii i zaszczytu służby wojskowej. Podobnie nigdy nie należy czynić żadnych aluzyjnych uwag w odniesieniu do tragedii 9-11 (to temat ciągle bardzo bolesny).
