All countries need patriotism, a little bit of 'we're better than everyone else/ the competition!' Is good for morale boosting and fostering nationalistic pride especially if your country isn't doing too hot socioeconomically. You don't have families of soldiers willing to send themselves and their children to fight wars if they didn't truly believe on some level america is #1. Id like to think its the same with most countries, nationalism is a powerful tool of propaganda.
Some pride in your country is definitely good, but its equally important (if not more) to notice things that could be improved and examples of other places that do things differently.
