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.
What possible basis could you make such an inane statement like that on? Look at the work week and vacation times compared with Europe, for one.
And if you actually moved to the US from Japan and your reaction was "what a bunch of morons", please feel free to pack up your stuff and take the next plane "home".

Adults also do talk like that maybe only in an educated way or when drunk.
