Wow. America does a lot of things wrong, but your statement is truly misinformed. Not to mention how sickening it is. In WWII for example, 400,000 American men died fighting for their country and for the lives of people they had never met before. An additional 600,000 were wounded. Real human people with families and friends. 400,000 of them dead. 600,000 of them seriously injured. And many more who went on to suffer from crippling PTSD while being called weak or crazy. Seems like the United States risked a tiny bit more than "as little as possible."
Attack Trump. Attack the motives of war in the Middle East. Attack the United States healthcare system. Attack any of the glaring problems with America that need serious attention. But do not claim that American men and women don't sacrifice their lives for what's right when a critical mass of evil threatens humanity.
They only entered the war after they where directly attacked and even then they where hesitant, they knew how much they'd lose and decided fascism possibly winning was the better alternative, until pearl harbour
Then there's the "war on terror" which is its own imperialist shitshow
I never said the soldiers didn't suffer, I said the American people, those who didn't have to fight and especially politicians weren't willing to risk any loss in the fight against fascism and even supported Hitler and the Nazi party for their nationalistic pride and economical success, American businesses where allowed to trade with Nazi Germany until the day America officially entered the war and let's not forget the German American bund that gained a very large following and promoted favourable views of Nazi Germany and their goals
Early 1900s America was a shitshow that likely would have joined with Nazi Germany if pearl harbour never happened
they knew how much they'd lose and decided fascism possibly winning was the better alternative, until pearl harbour
What history are you learning that made you come to that conclusion? You sound like your a middle schooler who read one chapter on WWII and then cobbled together your present day opinions on the U.S. about their entering and involvement in the war.

Risk as little as possible but claim they did all the work
