Which is not to say that it won't happen again.

Neither could the French and they had a standing army, incompetent, but
they called it an army. Which is to say that stopping an advanced army
such as the Germans at the time would have been tough for anybody to stop.

Although, Belgium had a standing army and did fight, for a while.

It didn't work for the Germans when they ran into the Red Army. Stronger
force beats up on strong force.

Have you ever heard the saying; "bit off more than he can chew"?

But you're getting off the subject. The US isn't an aggressor, but just a
policeman called upon by the weaker countries to help police a situation.
That Iraq reportedly had nuclear weapons (Saddams fault for trying to scam
the west) and openly supported the 911 terrorists and allowed Al Qaeda to
train there created a different situation.
