I think some people underestimate America. We have had some very dark times, but we still survived. When the United States was first formed, most people didn't expect the new nation to survive. It did. We survived a devastating civil war, a crippling depression and two world wars. Don't write our obituary just yet.
The u.s. not only survived a mammoth civil war that killed off 4 percent of the population. It subsequently thrived and grew even more powerful and populous.
The U.S. will probably have to contract its military operations. It is the Forever War that is bankrupting the country.
