I do. I probably don't qualify as the far right. For better or for worse...we are, currently, the center of the planet. What we do effects everyone. So..maybe, we should stop fucking up? Yes, we're all the same species, but we aren't all equally empowered to dictate the future -of- that species. The lowliest of americans has more say in that outcome than the best of nigerians. It's not fair, but that's the way it is.
For what it;s worth, there has never been a country that has leveraged greater power for human good than the US, and while we routinely get shit wrong...in the context of all other comparable or semi-comparable nations....at present...we're gonna go down as the good guys- warts and all.
Hopefully, before that happens, we can add a few more singles to our greatest hits album....but, if we can't, it was a damned good run.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
