The VietNam era of change was huge from 1967 to 1972. Nothing like it before or since.

Surely, you jest. It may have been the biggest change in my lifetime, but it doesn't even come close to the global changes of the Depression and WWII.

You don't need death, destruction and annihilation of societies to be able to enrich your grand children's children.

I think what people miss is the idea of existential struggle of good vs evil that WW2 produced... something on the order of Star Wars or the Lord of the Rings. WW2 really was that, but such moments are pretty rare in human history: shades of grey are a lot more common than black & white.
