Hypocrites

This happened about a couple of years ago when I was listening to the Azfar Mani show on a radio station. Don't remember which station as they had changed so many channels that i don't even remember the name of the radio station. Anyway, i faintly remember a conversation which Azfar and Mani had with a caller which pretty much sums up the definition of a hypocrite. The topic that day was related to national spirit and loyalty i guess. The conversation went like this:

Azfar and Mani: Where are you from?
Caller : I am from United States.

Some random talk later where the caller discloses that he is was born in the USA but his parents were from Pakistan.

Azfar: So you are true American, right?
Caller: Yeah.
Mani: Suppose your were in the US Army and were ordered to kill your own relative from Pakistan in a war, would you have done it? (Don't exactly remember what relative)
Caller: I will have to. (Which is correct in terms of loyalty and national spirit due to his citizenship being American)
Azfar: Acha, can you sing the national anthem of USA?
Caller: Starts singing the national anthem of USA (Of course, he's born there, why wouldn't he?)
Azfar and Mani: Cut the line.

The call is dropped.
