Its indoctrination. Most public school kids in America stand up and recite a loyalty pledge to our country and flag every single day from as young as five years old, and most go their whole lives never questioning it. Thats pretty much all you need to understand.
A lot of people in the US criticise other countries for being fanatical about their nation, but to me, reading stuff like this, the US isn't too dissimilar in that sense.
