civic pride, national purpose, that sort of thing. have the fundamentals shifted to the point where this is like asking when the UK will have an empire again?

well, you'd need to fulfill certain prerequisites, like a shared sense of national destiny/unity. the original EoGF was at a point in time when western expansion had unlocked an entire new frontier full of resources and the "unmartialed goods of nature's vast storehouse."

so, something like a unified america with a space frontier might do it. good luck.

yeah, so basically no conceivable scenario? i was thinking along the lines of the aftermath of winning a war with china, but in an age of nukes it wouldn't be the same as past wars. i'd imagine most of the aftermath would be lib thinkpieces arguing that we went to far and calls for war crimes commissions and such

there is a fair chance that the chaos and division caused by a major war would give regions within the US the courage/motivation to break away. imagine if a foreign power like china actually conducted separate-track negotiations with a region of the US to support its independence. things could just as easily go in that direction as in the direction of victory.
