I'm glad nobody voted me down on this post. I don't care what anyone says or thinks, America is still, and always will be, the best country in the world. I love my country and have defended it, even if it meant my death.

If they did, there's an inch of that horses a** on that Cav patch they can kiss. I know America is not perfect. She never will be, but the ability to DO what you want, WHEN you want to, and HOW you want within reason is something that many who think they're more civilized won't ever have in the amounts we do.

Before everyone starts blaming President Obama, (oops, too late) you might want to take a look at the rankings and see what categories brought down our ranking. It's stuff like caring about the environment, income inequality, gender equality, safety, etc. many of those areas are the same ones the president has tried to improve and the repubs have fought him on at every step.

Great, with all the things that the Imperial one has done, we should be number 1 next year when Trump takes over.

MCPO Roger Collins - If Trump takes over... we'll be lucky to stay in the Top 10. Is world-respect a category? Because we'll end up dead last in that one. How many candidates have EVER had their actions, words and poor attitudes actually debated in another first-world country with the idea that maybe they should be banned from that country? None. And yet, just this week, Britain did just that. If anyone thinks Trump is going to increase the value of the United States in world regard, they should probably take another look

MAJ Bryan Zeski, I've been saying that since he threw his hat in the ring. He will piss off every allie we have and probably start WWIII.

Well everyone is entitled to their opinions, and they are much like the brown star...they all have one, and they all stink. If you don't think we're no1 with a bullet, go find your freedoms in ANY of those countries and then come back and compare. Many folks who "visit" get warm and fuzzies of visiting a foreign country, not knowing what it's like to actually live there. I remember living in the UK and listening to folks talk about America in a negative light, and on one occasion a woman was telling her kid how bad we are. We asked her what language was she speaking and she looked puzzled. She was then told you can thank us twice for the ability to do that. Yes it didn't improve relations, and she grabbed her child and hauled a**. But it's true. There is NOTHING that the US doesn't have a hand in, good or bad. There isn't anything that goes on where American opinion DOESN'T carry weight. We set the tone, we set the trends, and are who everyone wants to be like. I haven't been to ONE country that didn't want to be like or "better" than Mike. I've said it before, Trump keeps saying he'll make America great again.....sorry Bruh....we've been No1 for 240 years. Good and bad, but we're still No1. No other country has had it's government last that long...hell there aren't too many countries that have lasted that long. Don't get me started on the militaries.... America had Kevin Coster play the role of a Chief in the Coast Guard. Now pause and let that sink in. John Wayne played the role of....everything and only died once. Who else does that? Marky Mark was a Sniper....yeah the underwear dude with the bad rap career was a Sniper. Let that sink in.... John Cena was a Marine.... do I need to go on? Pauly Shore was a Soldier!!! Imagine yourself in formation next to Pauly Shore!!! What could possibly go wrong? Wesley Snipes was a Jarhead working as a badass in the UN.....a black man in SPEC OPS? ONLY IN AMERICA!!! We had The Hoff singing at the fall of the Berlin Wall in tight leather pants. Pause again and let that sink in....maybe we should let that one go....

MSG Tom Earley - I wouldn't dare let anyone dictate how you and your family interact. That allows the fools who think they can push us around believe they're making headway. I hope you and your family are ok, and nothing happens to them, but I do see where this will come back and bite the immigrants. It's one thing to allow them in, but to force the local populace to bring them into your homes is very dangerous and extremely short sighted. Its something totally different to throw money at them, no one likes it, but it doesn't cause physical harm. You're going to have ignorant ones in every walk of life, and you'll have the good ones who want to be an active part of their new culture. Problem is, you'll never know who is who and the bad ones will override what good the good ones are doing. I don't think the Chancellor will have much chance at reelection after this.
