I think it necessarily implies that the speaker is proud to be an American as compared to any other nationality.

I don't see that. You can be proud to be something independent of the alternatives. You can be proud to be a CPA, for example, while recognizing that, had you ended up a surgeon, you could be proud of that, too. And visa versa.

Seems to be that being proud to be something is only in contrast with being ashamed to be that something or indifferent to it.
