What you're implying is that Americans are not.
I suggest you read:
"The greatest soldier of the war: Story of Sergeant Alvin York, the Christian soldier who went through the great war winning the highest honors ever given a private, his testimony and life sketch" By George W Ridout. By all accounts York was a mild and meek Christian fellow, until it was kill or be killed. Then he turned into a brutal killing machine who took over a hundred Germans prisoner by himself.
"His Time in Hell: A Texas Marine in France" By Warren Jackson. Americans are no strangers to nerve gas, carnage, and down and dirty trench fighting.
"To Hell and Back" By Audie Murphy. Murphy was another meek and mild man who was turned down by the Marines and the Navy. The Army gave him a shot at killing Germans and he excelled at it and became the highest decorated soldier of WWII.
"With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa " By Eugene Sledge. There is no such thing as a Geneva Convention in a real war.
"Their War for Korea: American, Asian, and European Combatants and Civilians, 1945-1953" By Allan R. Millett. Don't think American's have a stomach for real combat. The Chinese thought the same thing. That was until Captain Millet led a bayonet charge and overran a numerically superior Red Army unit.
"Marine Sniper: 93 Confirmed Kills" By Charles Henderson. An excellent account of Carlos Hathcock, one of the best professional killers of the Vietnam war.
"Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10" By Marcus Luttrell and Patrick Robinson. America is still producing the most hardened professional killers the world has ever known.
Americans don't lose wars. The pussies in Congress do.
