::(In that case...) Unfortunately, the American soldiers lost far more men during their time in the war than they should have compared to their allies. This was due in part to their skeptical view of the way the war was being conducted, inexperience, and an overzealousness to get to grips with the enemy. As a result, they fought in 1918 the way the European troops had fought in 1914.
