The 8 Blogs of Hanukkah- Night 3

Judas Defeats Nicanor

"
With these words he filled them with courage and made them ready to die for their laws and their country; then he divided his army into four parts."

What is it about the connection a person feels with their nation that makes them die for it? Is it the same as conviction and principles? That people feel so strongly about what they believe in, they're willing to die for it?
Sometimes, I look up to that mindset, sometimes it just looks like close-mindedness.
