On behalf of all the non-Americans out there, I'd like to remind everyone that the US has not (as far as I can recall) fought any significant conflict alone.
WWI - the US entered late. Although inexperienced and using (on the whole) outdated tactics, their additional numbers helped tip the balance.
WWII - The US entered late. It was essentially left up to the British Commonwealth to hold off in Europe, Africa, the middle east AND Asia. In this time the only real help from the US was with equipment (Lend-Lease).
Korea - This was a UN operation with troops from all over the world
Vietnam - more of a US show than most, but still involved units from other countries
Gulf war - UN operation, or as good as. Units came from just about everywhere
Iraq 2003 - included troops from the US, UK and Australia
T2K - on the nato side includes Germany, Norway, Denmark, USA, UK, Holand, and Canada (just to name a few).
