I don't think this country is great, I know it is (sure it's not perfect and has some major problems, but it has some major merits too)
I am proud to be British.
But I don't need to wave a flag, or pledge allegiance because of that.
I think this is probably because as a Brit, I'm more reserved, if something is good, why do you need to shout about it?

To me, part of being British is realising that no matter where people are from, they're still people.
If someone asks for our help, Britain should give as much as it possibly can.

I think one of the reasons why america has such a poor international image is the selfish attitude of people like yourself Jerrek.
As a state it has a history of sticking it's head in the sand and letting the world burn, until it looks like america's interest might be affected.
