The US ground invasion started after the Soviets won the war against Nazi Germany and the Soviets were on a push to take over all of Europe. The US swooped in from the back and claimed half the spoils of war while contributing far less.
Lend Lease was great for the US as well they could give weapons to others and have their troops die while no American troop was in danger. Sure it was a positive thing but the US didn't do it out of the goodness of their hearts.
30 million Soviets died in WW2. Less than half a million Americans. The US contribution was nowhere near the Soviets.
