The US only joined the war opportunistically and because Japan was stupid enough to drag them into it.

Ever heard of the guy named Harry Truman (I'm sure he wasn't anyone too important)? That's what he had to say about WW2:

If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don't want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances.

The Soviets did the majority of the fighting against the Nazis and the Chinese againt Japan.
