AFterall, they had been left to their own designs which allowed them to build up their military, whereas everyone else had already been fighting for a few years and as a result where kind of running low on things like factories for producing armour, aircraft, weapons, fuel. Modes of transport where destroyed, railroads, regular roads, bridges etc. NUmbers of operation aircraft and armour dwindled, as did the number of skilled practitioners of fighter planes.
The US had zero factories bombed, had all of their roads, all of their railroads, bridges, fuel production hadn't faltered, they had a very safe area to train their infantry, artillery, flight crews, and naval personnel.
So every part of their war machine operated unhindered, unlike all the rest. They came in with numbers, skill, and coordination as a result.
Then to top it all off they relatively single handedly ended the war with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Even IF the Germans where still in a position to be able to fight more, they would have had to surrender within a month, as this would be far more then sufficient time for the US to transport, and deploy other nuclear weapons on them, at which point in time unless they had their own they would either have to win or lose in a few weeks time. Since victory wasn't possible within a one or two week timeframe, they would have had to surrender or be destroyed.

Sure, but only after the years of hard work was done.

But thats like punching mike tyson while he's on the floor drunk.
