Last time I checked the best way to win a war was not by having more of your soldiers die. We do give ourselves too much credit for WW1/WW2, but comparing numbers like that means nothing. Obviously not. But rather than go into a long discussion about the relative roles of countries in WWII I felt it simpler to just point out in terms of sacrifice and endurance the Soviet Union surpassed anything a Western country could do. I'm not denying that the USA had an important role (as did every country save France).
France just made a vast strategic error before the war started, but they totally kicked ass in WW1.

This about sums it up for me regarding the US, too. Very succinctly put.

We produce everything you eat, wear, tear, and use that doesn't require electricity (and some that do) short of the air you breathe. Cheap labor, cheap (but world-renowned) food. Mail order brides.

Too much credit? Nazi Germany would still be in tact if Japan didn't drop bombs on the United States. Britain was lucky that America came to its aid, and Germany drew back 1 day before everything in Britain was wiped to shit. United States, and Britain push into the western part of Europe, and help out the French.
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN, I can go on...

France got their push outflanked by German goons and speedlots in WWII, and had to float a CC over to England so they wouldn't be eliminated. England then spent most of their money on turrets and bunkers becuase of the gosu Kraut muta micro.
The US and a few British unites then made a doom drop on the German expo's in France's main, and then the US teched to Carriers and Nukes on a few bases and then ran over the rest, primarily because they only suffering some early-game harass from the Japanese that didn't do any real damage to their eco.
Germany pulled an ally-mines on the Soviets, and so they massed tier 1 and didn't tech.

Soviet Union was the zerg ally. All they did was make zerglings the whole time, so its no wonder they lost more units than most of the players combined

We're one of the most tolerant countries in the world. We used to be the worst mofos in the world, but now, to everything strange and foreign we are the nicest bunch. We accept your personal choice of religion, sexuality, well, almost everything.
Our checks and balances still work. Our supreme court invalidates every one of those fucking laws our minister of suppression can come up with.
We know how to work. We get things done. Germans don't even believe that them selfs, but once you've been abroad you notice the difference. We build the best cars, the best roads, the best houses, the best machinery, we brew the best beer. The whole world acknowledges the quality of everything Made in Germany. Germans earned and still earn their reputation.
We will win the Euro 2008.
God I love so much about this country it's only surpassed by how much I hate this country.

USA has the constitution that protects individual freedoms and limits government power to the highest degree. no other country comes this close to protecting freedom and recognizing the government is not benevolence or wisdom, but force.
now if only we would stick to it.
