The US lost 400,000. The USSR alone lost 20 million, and 100 million
died altogether in WWII, with 75% of them being civilian. Civilian
losses for the US were virtually nil, and there was no signifcant
damage of infrastructure other than Pearl Harbor.

"Unaffected" my ass.

You don't know how good you have it.

Please site your source for those numbers. The wiki article said a
total of 65 million killed with the SU loosing 23.2 million of which
10.7 million were military. US KIA were 407,000 troops and 11,200
civilians. As for the infrastructure costs, while the US did not lose
much beyond Pearl Harbor to bombings, it lost a great deal to the
redirection of it's industrial complex to produce the goods needed to
fight the war in the rest of the world. The US also paid a majority of
the costs of fighting the war.

It was affected.
