3. "We're Number One!"

It bugged the hell out of me, years ago, when the VA began putting this phrase on all of its stationery: "We're Number One thanks to our veterans." I had to wonder, ARE we Number One? Clearly, in a lot of ways, we're not. And why do we have to BE Number One? Why do we have to distance and separate ourselves from people who happen to live in other nations?

That is the most misguided attempt to support veterans I've ever seen.
