Answer
Before the Pearl Harbor attack there were some 120,000 badly trained American soldiers. At the end of the war the USA had about 16 million under arms (most of them reservists); about 4 million Americans were in military action in Europe (against Germany and Italy) and half a million men were in action in the Pacific (against the Japanese).

Does this sound possible that ony about one quarter of our troops were sent overseas?
Does this sound plausable?
