You do have a point, hence my qualifier about instrumental goals. The point I was trying to make is that I cannot imagine joining the IDF to be a terminal goal, and there are better actions to actualize one's love for the country than joining its military, at least in the case of Israel. As it happens, I was right and the OP does have instrumental goals unrelated to patriotism.
