Maybe this helps explain. Think of America as a family, in your family you can pick on your younger siblings and call them names and fight. And you know your family can be wierd and not perfec but you still love your family. But if someone outside your family tries the same thing, your going to set them striaght real quick.
This does not mean that outsiders should be able to make observation but they should be catious and respectful when they do. Because just like your family, American's love thier country.(Or Most)

These lines between anit-war/american and pro-war/american are very fine and often easily inadvertently crossed by both parties. I have seen posts that are blindly patriotic and one's that reek of anti-amerianism. If you think back I'm sure you would probably realize you have been victim to writing one or the other.
