LOL. I don't know which "Americans" YOU know, but lemme tell ya about mine. There is NOTHING, they can't and won't do, to survive and WIN. Caps for emphasis, not yelling. It's obvious you and I do not travel in the same circles, not that I ever thought we did. :)
In WW2, most troops were green, young, certainly never been shot at. The Country was at peace. We rose to the occasion, fought back, saved ourselves and alot of other folks too. I'm using just this example, because until 9/11, it's the only other time an enemy attacked us directly. EVERYBODY I personally know, is still so dad gummed angry about those last AQ attacks, until there is no real way to tell just how bad our reaction will be, if we are hit again.
I think you watch too much tv, showing namby-pamby crybabies, featured by the media during natural disasters. Look behind them, sometime, and notice the water trucks, the chainsaw operators, the guys patrolling and protecting, etc., the builders, the life makers and the life takers. You might be amazed to find the American spirit alive, well and resourceful.
I will agree with you on this one thing. Americans do love life, love our work, love to play. We also love our Country, mostly, and love each other, mostly.
Thought maybe you needed to hear these things. :)

Your thoughts, as any are allowed. It is funny how on assumption many things are wrong. As far as the TV remark LOL, you made my eyes cross with laughter.
I just happen to like life.
