From an american perspective where they stayed in the back during WW1 and had to be trained on the spot, and were perfectly happy to work with nazi germany in WW2 until shit hit the fan, sure.

For most of europe, it's a traumatic experience that led to dozens of millions of dead young adults, entire cities firebombed and razed to the ground, areas shelled so hard that even today their access is forbidden.

But I'm sure it's much easier from a position of a country that never had a single war on its territory.



That’s maybe a misunderstanding. I’m not advocating war per se. Yet I think it was right that the US didn’t stay on the sidelines.
