Civil servants' patriotism unquestionable

I have also seen how the word PATRIOTISM has been misused by our leadership to try and deceive the well determined civil servants who have vowed to fight for their rights. Our leaders have deliberately chosen to be myopic in their understanding of the word patriotism.

There are two key words that I wish to use to define patriotism. In simple terms the word can mean Nationalism or Loyalty. Our leaders have referred to the striking public servants as people who lack nationalism. Oh! What a shame. Where does patriotism begin? For one to be patriotic, the person has to be loyal first.
