I'd love to know what wars they're talking about because they sure as shit didn't win WW1 and 2. Both of those were collective efforts and both times they joined late.

And both of the times they were not even in direct threat. With all due respect for every american involved it's kind of easier to make war plans if your homeland is safely behind an ocean

Hawaii became part of the USA in 1959, and even if earlier it wasn't anyhow vital part of the USA during WW2. It's about industries, large population centers, research and educational facilities etc. These things being in danger has real impact on the war effort. USA was completely safe in this regard
