Then the American army could have ended up trapped like the British when the French army collapsed.

The US Army had about 190,000 soldiers in 1939. The French army had about 900,000. The US had about 8 divisions, the French had about 86.

(The French had more men and aircraft and better tanks than the Germans - but much worse officers).
