I wouldn't consider that "fake patriotism", unless said SUV-owner just came back from an "add-a-constitutional-amendment-to-ban-flag-burning" rally, in which case they would be hypocritical and thus a "fake" patriot.

Actually, what I'm saying is that I have been in a military recruitment office and cannot understand how anyone could join up without thinking that they may go to war and be injured or even killed. It seems incredibly obvious to me, and perhaps even glorified.
