The two sides had the opportunity and the motivation to keep fighting for four years.

The new rifle-barrelled artillery enabled long-range gunnery.

Military medicine was almost non-existent - if you were wounded, you probably died.

The casualties seemed especially high, because America was a young country with a small population.

Is it World war 2 or Vietnam that had the greatest impact on America?

They both had an impact. ALL wars will influence/impact their respective generations. Naturally, some will impact more than others. The bloodier the war, the more the impact. WWII, for the US, had more casualties than Vietnam, Vietnam had more casualties than Korea, WWII had more US casualties than WWI did. The US Civil War had more casualties than any of our wars (however, we were fighting ourselves, so one must be careful when using those figures). Casualties aside, it may be said that the greatest impact about WWII was when the world entered the "atomic age", on 06 August 1945, when the atomic bomb was used to end WWII. The war however, had been won. Vietnam's impact may have been that it wasn't.
