American Knights often perceive the United States as the greatest force for good against evil in the world. American Gardeners often perceive the United States as possessing the greatest systems for making the world a better place for everyone. Knights see the United States as the great white Knight on the world stage; Gardeners see it as the most capable Gardener.

Because they hold these views, some Knights believe the U.S.’ war in Iraq and War on Terror are a fulfillment of the highest American values. Most Gardeners (and some Knights) see it as a betrayal of those values.
