army look like they were from the Civil War in the first engagements." - Burkeman1

Umm try looking at some real engagements where American officrs lead our troops (not French). Like Bellou Woods? Where soldiers were sent into battle in Civil War fashion and mowed down by astonished German machine gunners. How about the Black battalion that was sent to assualt German positons on the last day of the war when Pershing knew an armistice was about to be signed?
