2) Our military-industrial complex can kick your military-industrial complex's ass.

6) We can buy a .44 magnum if we want.
7) We have the world's largest economy.

9) We've never been invaded.
10) We landed on the freakin' moon.

Not quite right on some of these.
7) We do not have the worlds largest economy. China does.
