We did lose a lot of people but our national infrastructure didn’t get absolutely demolished the way that most European and Asian countries did. And our body count was less than 1% of the total kill count for the war (<500k American KIAs vs more than 50M worldwide). That put us in an extremely advantageous position once the conflict was finished in terms of economics and military power.
