Virginia is largely the home of government these days so it naturally has a large number of retired and active duty military personnel.

They mixed some things together that they shouldn’t have, like military enlistments that Utah is 48th on, to volunteerism, which of course Utah is number 1 on.

I also note that some of the most socialist states in the nation get very high marks for being patriotic.

That isn’t an example of patriotism to me.

How Patriotic is Your Home State?
State ranking includes:
...percentage of people who join the Peace Corps, and
...people who searched Google for the American flag

True patriots, they.

Disappointed in Texas. Thought it would be higher.

NJ is 49.

Why am I not surprised? I’m sad, but not surprised.

Weighted too much towards military. Maryland, the Freak State, has a lot of active and retired military, but is not that fond of the U.S.

Leftist Maryland is ranked 18th most patriotic? That is total rubbish.

California’s patriotism is untarnished as everyone loves their nation of birth-MEXICO!

What does it mean today to be patriotic? To what and whom exactly?
