So what? The US was fighting with massive forces ALL OVER THE PLANET - nothing else in history comes close to it.


 


So what?  If the US colonized and controlled, say, all of north and south america, the way the russians colonized a good part of europe and asia and got control of many subject peoples, we could have put tens of millions of soldiers into the battle line.




If western allies didn't put up the fight they did, leaving russia to fight a two front war (not a one week "war" against already crushed japanese) they'd all be singing Deutschland Uber Alles now in russia.  Lots of things go into winning a war - comparing the number of troops on this or that front is simplistic.
