This Picture I think would be a proud one for Americans. Because of ships like USS Nimitz, and the utter military dominance of the United states. My generation has grown up in a free, democratic and wealthy society. Which would not have been true if America had not been what it is today, and if it did not possess weapons such as the one shown. We must be thankful that Americans have given their lives so we can sit at home watching TV and eating as much as we like. They have helped create the world we live in today, which has given us extremely long life expectancies and technology beyond imagination 100 years ago.

However with such power come immense responsibility and it can be said that America has failed many times, there are many countries left war torn and devastated by questionable wars. Though most have been for good, they have cost too many lives and their end goals probably were not "democracy" or "freedom" as we are told. America's power has also been its weakness. Is it right to impose one's beliefs on to another nation? What right do these soldiers have to be there with guns at this moment?
