Addressing the second portion of yoru question, it's YOUR opinion, so I'll leave it up to you :)

Answer:
No, war is not the highest form of patriotism.
Explanation:
Patriotism is love and support for one's land, but it does not mean hate for other people's countries.
War is a violent act against other people that is rarely justified. Throughout history, war has mainly served the cynical purposes of the ruling classes.
Patriotism should not be used by politicians to rile up feelings of xenophobia and hate that could lead to war, and people should be aware of these manipulations and stand against them.
The highest form of patriotism is respect and care for one's people, land, and traditions, at the time that respect is shown for foreigners, their countries, and their culture.
