I want America to be a country that everyone wants to work with. A country with advanced technology and the people who make it. A country with amazing public infrastructure that makes visitors stop and take photos. A country with a reputation for taking on ambitious projects and succeeding at getting them done. A country who leads in opinions on international conflicts because of an excellent track record of being right.
That's not going so well and hardly ever was.

I hang on to the fact the the American public doesn't believe in "dulce et decōrum est prō patriā morī" enough to tolerate a draft, or the endless deaths from a professional army you'd have in a ground war. This must be very disappointing for our president, but he did say that those who died in service were "suckers" we all heard that.
