My grandfather (Scottish) fought against the Japanese in WWII. He didn't talk much about the war, but he once told us how the Americans came at the end of the war after all the hard work was done.
The other allies had been fighting for so long that they were low on food and all their uniforms were rotting. The Americans had only just entered the war at the end so they had all this nice new equipment and lots of food. The American soldiers didn't share much-needed supplies with their allies. They would instead mockingly offer them food and cigarettes at exorbitant prices. They were overall rude and bad at working with the others.
Needless to say, it soured my grandfather's view of Americans.
