Patriotism is over rated.I dont think he was un American per se.I think he held on to his old school ways and values.Also Michael is his son.To Vito he's watching his son risk his life for strangers,literally.I think thats what Vito saw first before seeing it as a service to America.
The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters. Cus D'Amato
