I disagree with some points, and here is why:

#1:US entered WWI based on a lie, specifically designed to trick us into a war.

#2: Related to the above point, we HAVE used wars won as an opportunity to establish permanent military presences throughout the world.
Ask Okinawa about how they feel having a permanent US presence since 1945.

#3: MANY of the major research and development in science and industry is driven by IMMIGRANTS!Which makes me laugh considering the vitriol leveled at them in this last election cycle. Most of these scientists will leave after a few years here, go to their own countries and leave us in the dust.

#4: 100,000 people are killed by medical intervention ANNUALLY in the USA.

Shall I go on? WE as a country should demand better of ourselves instead of rolling around in the myth that "We are the best!" The truth is, we are exceptional, but only as examples of what people should NOT be. Let's get our shit together and fix this sad situation.

Overall, though, I will give you bumps. I don't like living in an echo chamber, so it's nice to see the other side.
