No, if you really want the USA to look soft, compare the amount of supplies required by a combat division of Germany and the USA......
Read " Brute Force: Allied Strategy and Tactics in the Second World War (Hardcover) by John Ellis" for specifics, but the comparisons are scary indeed! |

Well what about looking soft? If you want to look tough join a biker gang. If you want to win a war, having more material then the enemy can be useful.
