    (Marine Vet here, so take what I say below with a grain of salt, it may be my bias or I might just be wrong but something I've seen a lot)
    A common comment I see attributed to foreign leaders that have fought against the US military is, "It is hard to fight the Americans because they do not follow established doctrine of war."
    To which the American reply is, "Hell, if we don't know what were doing the enemy sure as hell won't either."
    The US to my knowledge generally follows and allows small unit initiative. "Here is the objective, go get it."
    While European armies were traditionally more rigid in their doctrine. "Here is the objective, this is how you will get there."

    I was reading an ww1 article covering german impressions (interviewed after war) of american soldiers. One of the more common comments made was about the tenacity of american troops, despite seeming lack of discipline or training.
    Another less common topic (that i found funny) was how german troops were told to always keep an eye behind them when fighting americans, cause "you didnt know where they would come from".

    Some American soldiers were initially put under Australian command. You can guess how much Pershing liked that.
    The Australian general, Monash, was one of the finest generals of the war and his command of the battle of Hamel is studied at West Point if I recall correctly.

    What the Marines showed, was despite the heavy casualties, the best way to reduce overall casualties throughout the war, is to punch the enemy in their mouth and never give them rest. Sun Tzu mentions this in the Art of War, never give your enemy rest.
    Also despite being fresh, American Marines were thought of as crass and ungentlemanly with their fighting by some of the French and even the Germans.

    I'm enjoying the Sabaton reactions and commentary. I would love to see you do the same with other artists that focus heavily on recounting history through their music. One artist that is very history-focused is English Folk Rock singer Al Stewart. He has a fairly well known song called "Roads to Moscow" that focuses on events on the Russian front in WWII. "Always the Cause" and "On the Border" are about the Spanish Civil War. "The Palace of Versailles" about the French Revolution. "Warren Harding" about the titular American President. Lots of great music with historical information, albeit a completely different genre of music than Sabaton.

    Judging by the mass casualties caused by French and English tactics, if we had let our troops be commanded by them our casualties would have been worse. Haig lost what, 60,000 men in a day because he ordered them to walk and wasn't close enough to the front lines to adapt to anything. The French were so careless with their men that the French Army mutanied.
    I can't blame Pershing for wanting to remain independent.
