stuck between the glory of WW2 and the shame of Vietnam, so it doesnt have a lot of "entertainment" value I guess.
It's not very significant compared to events that surround it.
It followed on the heels of WW2 and wasn't the locus of massive social upheaval like Vietnam was.

Didn't win the war.
Didn't lose due to massive upheaval at home like Vietnam either.
