Most of these men fathered children before they were deployed.
The Baby Boomer generation is one of the biggest in history.
And a significant number of them grew up without fathers.

The United States lost only about 1/2 million, an insignificant number compared to its population. Ditto for France, and the British Empire. Most of what you are saying does apply to Germany and Japan.
