Another funny myth that a lot of Americans that I've seen cling too is that they are incredibly skilled at war, that they have the best military in the world since it's inception and that they can defeat any opponent. A quick review of history doesn't bear this out as most of the wars that America has "won" have had them be part of a coalition which they may or may not have joined rather late in the game. Even their vaunted revolution required help from a military superpower i.e. the French.
