"Because it's also something Americans would rather pretend didn't exist because it's an example of them losing a war."

It's actually because the war had barely any political backing and pretty much 0 backing in the public opinion. Everything from just getting involved in the war to the draft made people hate the war. It got to the point that vets were either shunned, or avoided shunning because they weren't proud people willing serving their country, they were teens drafted into a war that no one at home had an interest in them fighting. This shit gets taught in school, including the fact that we lost. Saying it's all because America doesn't like to admit we lose is just dumb and insulting.
