What's the deal with America?

In my broad opinion, we've gone from a nation which tries to be the best - which fights, claws, and innovates its way to the top - to a nation who simply assumes we are the best, even when we aren't. We've kept the arrogance and confidence of our national character but have largely abandoned the part which puts our money where our mouth is.

I don't think that's broadly fair.

As I said, it's an opinion based on anecdotal evidence. I don't have statistical data to back it up.

Well thanks for your negativity then.

I can see how that would be difficult for you take, with your constant input of positivity and cheerfullness.

Not for you, perhaps.  But if fahdiz sees that as his problem I will accept his diagnosis.

If you are a USAF officer tasked with sitting in a hole all day babysitting a nuclear missile, how can that be an engaging and meaningful part of your career?

I think it would be incredibly hard to keep those guys sharp all the time.

Yeah, I can definitely see how tough it would be to maintain your TURN YOUR KEY SIR clenched-ass status all the time in that role.  After a few weeks, you're yawning through the drills.

You'd think that kind of role needs more personnel turnover than it has.

I'm not sure I indicated anywhere in that sentence anything about "my" problem, whatever you perceive it to be.
