Well, I mean, your post overtly mentions that "only two people" will ever die for you - one of whom (Jesus Christ) is considered a minor prophet (at best) by well over half the people on the Earth. So . . . other people have accomplished the same at similar expense. Additionally, some who "sacrifice" their lives for others are not actually doing this for just cause.
In short, the email is pretty grossly simplistic and a pretty bad examination of patriotism, even if viewed as pure jingoism (which I basically refuse to do either way). Sure, I responded in the fashion of parody, but this should clear it up - this is really the main reason why it's not the best idea to post email forwards without any additional discussion, as well, Tom. The email forward has a very specific audience, and without any further discussion, it's hard to take it seriously or know where to take it.
