The US had around 2,000,000 troops in France at the Armistice, while the French army was around twice that size. The US forces didn't have the kind of technological superiority they're used to in the modern age, and the French would have the civilian population on their side. The British were not aligned with the US as they are in the present day and like the French, were vengeful towards the Germans. This doesn't look like a good move: more a recipe for either having to back down, or fight another couple of years of meatgrinder war.
