That's part of it. The "human" experience of Americans in Korea was refugee crises, daring-do dogfights and conventional warfare across a solid battle line. It fits into the mentality of "WWII." The "inhuman" experience of Americans in Korea was high-altitude saturation bombing and you can say "yeah, well we did that to Japan, we did that to Germany" but it was a bit more... asymmetrical in Korea.

But yes. Hawkeye and Trapper didn't spend a lot of time picking body parts out of the aftermath of a B-29 raid.
