Well, not all losses came from fighting just for own survival, but majority. Soviets did the majority of fighting against Nazi-Germany, USA popped in when Nazis were already retreating and far from their height of power.

Not a chance if Germany surprise attacked the US on American soil would the Americans have sustained 20 million civilian deaths, they'd have gone the surrender/diplomatic route. The Russians forced women, old men, children to throw themselves in front of the Germans, those who didn't were shot.
Maybe I'm wrong, I think in the end the US values the life of its citizens. The US never lost anywhere near even 1 million soldiers let alone civilians in any war.
