What would have happened if the training, doctrine, and equipment of the US army in World War 2 was just really bad, like throw down rifles and run away upon contact with the enemy bad?

If you have to get rid of Marshall or any of the other IOTL American generals or sideline them to do this, that's fine.

When would this have become apparent, what would have been done to fix this, and what would have been the effect on the strategic policies of the US and its adversaries? For example maybe FDR gets an inkling of this and gets much less interested in getting the US involved in World War 2, or at least makes sure its purely a naval and air show.
