The United States is one of the most militarily powerful countries in the world, and as such, their military is in the spotlight. In daily communication, Americans are often referred to as "American GIs", the origin of this title can be traced back to the late World War II to the Liberation War, and the performance of the US military in China left a deep impression on the local people. In contrast, Japanese soldiers at that time were generally short in stature, so people called them "little Japan" and "little devils". And the beauty ** people, except for some black people, are tall and straight, so this title was born.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the United States provided a lot of help to China, and the Flying Tigers fought side by side with Chinese soldiers, so among the people of Qingdao at that time, the Americans were highly respected. Despite the strength of the United States, some things that happened before made some people question American soldiers. In particular, some stall literature refers to them as "young master soldiers", believing that without high-tech **, they will lose their combat effectiveness, and once ammunition and food ** are insufficient, they will surrender. However, this statement does not make sense.
Although the US military's ** equipment is indeed strong, their combat capability should not be denied. During World War II, Japanese high-ranking officials described American soldiers as "flowers in a greenhouse" and called them like "young masters", and the army was no different from a plate of loose sand. The spread of this idea caused many Japanese soldiers to develop a fear of American GIs, believing that everyone was afraid of death. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan and the United States launched a fierce military confrontation.
Although the Japanese had some advantages through sneak attacks in the early stages of the battle, the outstanding performance of American soldiers in the subsequent battles made the so-called "young master soldiers" a false stereotype. This point has not only been deeply recognized by the Chinese volunteers who had a head-on confrontation with the US military, but also profoundly proved by the 3,515 Medals of Honor awarded by the United States. These medals all bear witness to the heroic deeds of US soldiers who defended the country with their own lives. Therefore, the US military is by no means the so-called "young master soldiers".
Although the founding time of the United States is relatively short compared to other countries, the patriotic feelings of the American people are not inferior to those of other countries. And even in some ways, they are even better. Like the Chinese people, the American people are always willing to contribute to the country. This is also the reason why the US ** team is strong. As Nathan Hale, a hero of the American Revolutionary War, said, before being executed by the British, his only regret was that he had to give his life for his country once and for all. This is the most touching thing about the military.
Although they are all ordinary people and do not have extraordinary abilities, they have always been steadfast and have the courage to dedicate themselves to the motherland and their compatriots, even at the cost of their lives.
