I also fear that the past is no reliable indicator of the future so your history lesson has limited value

If not, why not?
Isn't it the current POTUS who wants to end/limit overseas involvement?

Sure, let's ignore all the ground work done in other parts of the world (hot air balloons, gliders etc) and all the pioneering work done in the US and elsewhere by others. But if you want to believe that the Wright Brothers invented aviation, be my guest.

I believe humility, and grace leavening blind patriotism is the best way forward, I love my country , Marine infantry vet here, but acknowledge it’s flaws, the current upheavals show that the status quo isn’t acceptable to many going forward, and we also have elections to remedy all that going forward, flying long haul cargo throughout the planet 1st , 2nd, and 3rd world was an eye opener as to how 80% of this planet lives, we all have to do a better job going forward, globally , about taking care of each other, and getting along, our work, and it’s daunting is cut out for us. Less hate, more love, is a start. Not talking left, or right here, just in general. We are ALL in this together.Cheers.

100%. Very well said. As a veteran I am a proud American, and love this country, but I fully recognize some serious faults. We have lots of work to do here, and I hope we can get to a place where we can actually do that work and move forward.

Tony, you talk a big talk, but I have seen your demeanor and true talk in real life world environment. Trying to portray yourself as this goody goody guy doesn’t fit you. Stop posting public statements that are completely different than your true beliefs.

actually though at times I fall short this what I ascribe too, and am trying to project going forward, the old paradigms just aren’t working, and may I ask who are you ? You apparently know me, so I’m curious about who you are, pm me , or skulk in the shadows, I’m curious. Goody goody, is not how I would describe myself, but what I put out there is the direction I really think we need to go. Cheers.
