Sorry - not meant as a criticism of your comment, since I agree that Americans do seem to have a rather gung-ho approach.
My main argument here is that just because they're arrogant cowboys doesn't mean that we have to let the Italians get away with scurrilous accusations either.
It's just that as the case builds up to show that the Americans can't control their trigger finger, it almost becomes assumed that the Italian accusation must be true.
