1. Why aren't Americans more affected by these deaths/injuries
especially so shortly after Vietnam?

Germany, Japan, Italy, and France are loathe to be involved in further armed conflict, even though WWII was two decades before the Vietnam War. Does the US have to suffer to the degree that these countries had before it realizes, "There's got to be a better way"?
