You do know that there is no official language for the USA right? Just saying. Also the saying should go thank a WW2 vet, not thank a soldier.

not to get off topic but no a days I can kinda see that. it seems to be like aa report card for U.S schools to step up esl classes to esl REQUIREMENTS.
also some more care should be taken in to the immigration laws/standards I.E refusing people we cant use. japan does it why can't we?

Japan's government and economy works to improve itself, and no one else, the US works to improve world quality, even if it costs our nation and economy more than it should.

Id have to dig out some notebooks for a better explanation, but there are some countries who work for their own economic good (Japan), and some that work for the world's economic good. Both ideas have their advantages and disadvantages, its just a fact of life that some are ego-centric while other are not.

thank you for the description, it would be much appreciated if you could at some point go into more detail because I'm very interested in economy and government.
