I was a little sad that some of the people almost turned on that American woman who gave up her citizenship to protest the war, but that was a pretty powerful moment.

Thing is I kinda empathized with those people... if I wanted to affect change or protest my country's actions, I wouldn't give-up my citizenship; you just remove yourself whatever power (no matter how small) and political process you had to influence the nation. I would have been angry with her for giving up on the nation and for being an idiot and surrendering her political power.
