The public feared Nazi Germany; No one complained. The US lost how many men? Two million? And yet that was a drop in the bucket compared to what Russia lost.

Good point, actually; a big difference is that while Nazi Germany, Japan, etc did pose a threat and managed to conquer half the world, Iraq was no threat at all.
