The attack on Pearl Harbor of December 7, 1941 (A day which will live in infamy) awakened the general public of the united States of America to a great and long-lasting fear. We had been hurt and abused. The group mentality woke up just long enough to take note of the danger. Since that time, the United States has been the strongest military force in the world. IN fact, the United States has been and is stronger than all the military force in the rest of the world. Vietnam notwithstanding, the USA could wipe our and/or subjugate all the world. Not for long because the rest of the world would then have their wake up call and begin to react against such domination.
