I'm going to assume he is reffering to the 40's/50's/60's. Even back then we weren't "greatest". Sure, there were good moments back then such as the victory of WWII, Moon landings, helping rebuild Europe, and some other inovations. However, back then we also had some very dark domestic issues as well. Just look at the civil rights issues. Segregation, widespread racism, McCarthyism, etc. I don't think that any nation in the world has ever deserved the title of "greatest". All nations have their positives and negatives, good history and dark history. Some are worse than others, but it is arrogant to claim any one nation as "best".
