Crushed them sounds easy and decisive, that is a mew one on me, those of us who were there, or lined up to be there and anticipating 25% losses just from trying to get to Europe, or leading those forces who would be fighting to death for our survival, saw it that way at all, and frankly anticipated that the war would be so massive and destructive and so total, that going nuclear was a given.
No, crushed as in what we did to the CSA and the Axis. Yes, we took bloody losses, but we pounded them into the ground.
As I pointed out, we didn’t know if we could win, nor what be left if we did, your dismissive fantasy was not widely shared.
