Every nation is taught they are best. Even North Koreans are taught they are best. This isn't a nation-specific occurrence. It's national pride that is common to most developed nations where there is enough funding to teach kids in school anything.ZinWolfe said:I'm an American and I would gladly play a game where the United States is the bad guy (note, you could just make a WWII game from the viewpoint of a German soldier). Also, I'm not getting where "Americans are taught they are the best" thing is coming from. When I was in grade school we were taught that we were no better or worse than any other country, just that we should consider ourselves lucky to be in a country that has an plenty of food and water. Second, in America today students are taught that either the US Government is evil or that Americans are bad people. So given that, a game in which the Americans are the bad guys would probably do really well here.
I wouldn't say that we're taught we are best. We are taught that we have the strongest military and the most wealth. But we are also taught about how empires rise and fall. Would people ***** about how Rome thought they were "the best" in 100 a.c.e? No. They were the top tier nation at the time. That IS America right now for better or worse. Will probably be China next depending on how they handle a few things. Though if the US ever figures out its debt problem then they could be locked together for a couple centuries, neck and neck.
