I have to say I am sad for you Maunakumu. I also responded on the other post, and this is the last time I will mention it out of respect for this post, no disrespect intended. We fought to keep korea, vietnam and cambodia free. we lost lives in all of this conflict for countries that had no real value to us, and yet you say our country isn't exceptional. We are the country that uses military assets, in peace time, to save the lives of the citizens of other countries, (I am not saying other nations don't also help, I am just addressing the American side of the issue, that's all). As a nation we provide massive amounts of resources to private charities, our soldiers stand to help other countries stay free, our navy keeps the sea lanes free, we feed the world with the food we produce, and yet we are not exceptional.
America, during the period before I was alive, and during my tenure here on the planet has been an exceptionally good country. It has done more in its short existence to spread liberty and freedom around the world than any country before it, with fewer abuses of that power. Countries much older, have done far less, and caused far more suffering in their time as dominant powers than the united states at its worst.
I am sad for you.
