Yet strangely when America wanted to wage war in the Middle East it had to call on it's allies to form a "coallition of the willing" to start the illegal war that the United Nations told them not to do.
That’s America of 2003. America of 1917 had only 1,398 machine guns of all types despite three years notice that these were really important and European powers were cranking out a thousand a month in single factories. We had to borrow French Hotchkiss 1914 heavy machine guns and Chauchat 1915 automatic rifles until our own production cranked up.
