A friend of mine says that the United States made allies with some Indigenous people's during the Vietnam War. He says you left them high and dry when you pulled your troops out of there. It looks like you make a habit of this.

it has been said that the US is a terrible enemy, and an even worse ally.

it has been said that the US is a terrible enemy, and an even worse ally. and getting worse by the day. Many don't seem to care about this but there will come a day the US will need help from their allies and the allies will answer "in your dreams". You know when the next "afghanistan" comes along. In the invasion after 9/11 we had this:
The War in Afghanistan (or the US War in Afghanistan or the Afghanistan War), code named Operation Enduring Freedom (2001–14) and Operation Freedom's Sentinel (2015–present),[56][57] followed the United States invasion of Afghanistan[58] of 7 October 2001, when the United States of America and its allies successfully drove the Taliban from power in order to deny al-Qaeda a safe base of operations in Afghanistan.[59][60] Since the initial objectives were completed, a coalition of over 40 countries (including all NATO members) formed a security mission in the country.

But at least quite a few of these allies were at Normandy so all is good right?
