Now who sent me bad karma(ALOT) this time and is pussy enought not to sign it.
Anyway The US at the Beginning of the WW1 and WW2 did have a small forces not even prepare for war, but they were able to achieve a massive program and bring their forces from poor to a major army.
As for the Soviets, They are actually the one that won WW2, but they lost alot, thanx to the madness of Stalin who purged most officers in the red army before they were invaded by Barbarosa. Thanx Soviet, they delayed the war because they wanted to be the first in berlin
two months the Allies waited outside of Berlin so the Big Bear can invade Berlin.
The Soviets had pilots from all over the world they even had French pilots that are heros of war in Russia, rare we hear about it

.
Same for the RAF, were US soldiers volunteered to fight for Britain.
It is stupid to say that the French are not good Soldiers they prove at many occasion
that they have one of the best army since centuries. As for their "bad adventure" in WW2
they were relying themselve on a straight line defense, one line defense, only problem in that type of defense is that when penetrated YOU ARE FUCK! And it is what happened. They were relying on war tactics based on the WW1, totaly outdated compared to the German Blitzkrieg.
To say the US saved the French is quite push, yes the US did helped the Allies in Both
WW, but they arrived in 1917 in WW1 and 1941 in WW2 quite late, yes there particpation helped to win the war, they did not win it by themselve and I think saying that is a great lack of respect to any WW vets including my Grand pa and probably some of your grand fathers too.
And I end
I agree 110% with Sylvio
Also to the one that sent me 3points of bad karma, what the matter truth hurt, France and the US were alway good friends from the French that helped the revolution in the 13 colonies, to LA, US and France were alway close allied and friend.
