Is America Still Worth Fighting For?
By Tim O'Brien
The question is one that every American military member has to literally ask himself or herself when signing up. Is America still worth fighting for?
Increasingly, this question hits closer to home for Americans who still believe in the idea of American exceptionalism, that this country’s unique system of government, combined with God-given freedoms protected by nothing more than the parchment of the Constitution and the deep commitment of Americans themselves, is the one exception in a world otherwise ruled by kings, fascists, tyrants, elitist oligarchs, and dictators. They believe that America is the only thing in the world that stands between tyranny and basic universal human dignity.
Throughout its relatively short history, America has been under attack, yet despite that it has not only risen to be the world’s most dominant superpower, but thanks to the strength of its people, their enterprise and innovation, it has changed the world in countless ways.
The country’s Founders had to put their lives on the line, and in many cases sacrificed them, to create a nation committed to the “ideals of liberty, equality, natural and civil rights, and responsible citizenship,” to create a new political order, according to the American Revolution Institute.
