I think the only war we tried to show our military might "greatness" was the Gulf War. It did establish America as a coalition force to the world.
I think the meme is accurate to people who once supported the war in Iraq. I don't think it reflects people that opposed it or, people who have since changed their views on it.
Basically every war we did during the Cold War was about "sharing" the greatness of capitalism over communism, too. We're still pretending our embargo against Cuba is just for the same dumb reason.
And WW2.
