I think you are confusing America as a country and Americans as individuals.
If you want to say America the country is not modest with its power, fine. But if you mean individual American people are not modest, I don't think there is as much basis for that.

You will VERY often hear americans say "I'm proud to be american" for whatever reasons. So no, I'm really talking about americans being the opposite of modest.
