There are a lot of nations out there who look to us as their "strongest ally," which must give them a nice comfy feeling...right up until the "oh, shit" sets in when they realize we can't handle a natural disaster on the home front. Our chances of having their backs during anything major is pretty slim.

Or do we only do our best work when we're out-of-town?

Kinda gives a new perspective on George Carlin's line, "We're really good at killing brown people..."
