Oh, you did something for the sake of your country? Well, congratulations, I guess? That doesn't magically make it a good thing. Saying that is like putting ketchup on a burnt steak—it doesn’t fix the problem, and now you've just made it weird. (1/4)

Imagine someone saying, "I robbed a bank… for the sake of my country!" That doesn’t suddenly turn them into a national hero—it just makes them a criminal and a bad liar. (2/4)

Or, "I cut in line at the grocery store… for the sake of my country!" No, Betty, you just didn’t want to wait for your turn like everyone else. (3/4)

If doing something for your country actually justified it, dictators would be saints, tax fraud would be patriotic, and every drunk uncle at a Christmas Party would be a political genius. Spoiler alert: They're not. (4/4)
