In Germany we still use a funny term for someone who has a easy job: "Kamerad von der Westfront" (comrade from the western front). America was and is impressive to us in many ways, but for sure not because of its fighting traditions. Guess what - you should be proud of that.
Go talk to the Japs about that - they may have a different opinion...
You can probably thank American “fighting tradition” that Germany even exists today.
Cheers.
