Oh no doubt the US was on the allied side but there's something to be said about sitting out and selling weapons to your allies while their infrastructure get pummelled (hording wealth from the sales) and then joining only once instigated. That, to me, says that Americans largely did not see it as their war until they were forced to participate.
