Actually, taking the fight to Germany was exactly the French's strategy in the opening phases of the fighting 1914. The French, however chose the wrong point for their assaults (fighting the previous war, as many nations are inclined to do) and ended up rushing into the Germany envelopment.

Ummm, don't give me that. I know American history books are terribly biased, but check your facts.
By 1918 more then 2/3 of the German infantry and 3/4 of their artillery were aligned against the British to the north of Paris. The American role in the majority of the fighting of 1918 consisted of making sure the Germans could not redeploy more strength to the north by making sustained, large scale attacks of the kind the French were too tired and worn down to make.
The reason for the high percentage of American casualties was not their equipment, but rather the failure of Pershing (another arrogant bastard, by all accounts) to adopt the artillery/infantry tactics used by the majority of front line troops by 1918. His continued use of wave style frontal assaults (at a time when the elite of both sides were using squad style fire and manuever tatics) only suceeded due to the state and number of the German troops arrayed against them. Those same tactics tried 2 years earlier would have resulted in an even greater slaughter of American troops and, very likely, little sucess.

Actually, no he wasn't. He was on a British ship off shore pissed off that he was not allowed to land with the troops.
