Wen they finally stared fighting in North Africa and Italy their record 
was not glorious. Patton had his guys "flanking" the enemy to "liberate" 
  Sicilian cities where there we no Germans, while the British and 
Canadians fought the enemy head on and defeated them. It was the 
Canadians and British who did most of the fighting up through Italy 
while the Americans tried another flanking manouvre and got trapped on a 
beach.

They managed to sit out most of WWI. The didn't declare war until the 
Allies started gaining ground against the Germans, and it was the 
Canadians who succeeded where others had failed.  When they finally did 
get their men over to Europe they refused to take the advice of the 
British and Canadians about the tactics that had worked for them, so 
when they finally got into combat they reverted to the old ways, which 
had failed, and they got creamed.
