I haven't traveled as much as I would have liked to...but the fact of the matter is, we now live in a very small world. And the better Americans understand it, the better off we'll be.
I understand Charlie Daniels' sentiments but I do think a lot of Americans need to get out more. I met a lot of ignorant people in college and I do think it has to do with not getting out and getting to know the world.
The MSM would have you believe that the world stops at the left and right coasts of the US.....unless they have a juicy murder story from Aruba. Whatever. Join the military, see the world. Or sit at home and watch from the comfort of your own chair....and then preach that leaving the front yard is dangerous. My god...we've become a nation of nimrods......
