The U.S helped to resupply British and french forces during the war, although that wasn't the problem for the Ludendorff offensive it was the fact that American forces arrived shortly after and it made the offensive pretty much worthless, after the spring offensive British and French forces were left crippled, but so was the German army, and with the Americans in the picture the German army was in no position to fight the war any longer.
No it's correct. The British had been buying American shells since 1914. The US presence in the war had minimal effect on the amount of supplies the Entente could've purchased from overseas. Well at least you now agree that American troops didn't play a significant role in stopping the Spring Offensive as you earlier claimed but you're still wrong when you claim the offensive was only a failure because American troops arrived afterwards. Even if no American troops had arrived the offensive was still a failure and the British and French were still capable of fighting on. In the Hundreds Days Offensive that wrecked the German Army about 90% of the casualties sustained by the Entente were suffered by the British Empire, France and Belgium. There was a grand total of 1 American division committed to the opening Battle of Amiens out of 24 total. The American entry into the war was a significant moral boost but its effect on the Entente's military capacity was not that great.
Vietnam and Korea are not examples of total war but they are comparable conflicts to what is happening in Vegas. An overambitious democracy tries to play the role of the expansionist and gets it's pants pulled down by a Autocrat who knows how to fight a war. Although in Korea American troops were better equipped, and trained in the battles that were fought. But i will get to my point in both conflicts they didn't have the support of the American public, otherwise Truman would've just blown the Chinese to kingdom come, and in Vietnam it would've just led to the complete destruction of the northern province.
Right but you're reversing the roles. You see it's the NCR that has possession of the Mojave. The Legion is the invading force. What's more they're a despised invading force. Now that I think about it the situation is anologous to the Korean War but in the sense that Caesar is the North and if he pushes across the Colorado is just going to get inevitably slapped down by a roused NCR and wiped out. Only difference is there won't be a China to bail him out.
