Rascism.
That is all.
Ok, killing poor peasant farmers in Vietnam doesn't feel too righteous (unless backed up by the aforementioned super power) so the Vietcong or even the North Vietnamese Army is out of the question
The Taliban are an embarrassing chapter in US history, one where we gave a radical fringe group massive stockpiles of military weaponry and trained their leaders in US tactics, right before they used those weapons and tactics to orchestrate a crippling attack and then engage us in a conflict with no foreseeable end. Having an in-depth look at them in a game would only underline how incompetent we are.
China is a very real threat, so antagonizing them would be like insulting an eight foot tall kid at school with a beard named Mungo while he has you trapped in a very small room while you are in traction.
N. Korea is a close ally of China, so see the above entry.
Iran is scary to say the least. They don't have a strong army to match up against to antagonize them with, and having a campaign focused on sabotaging their nuclear program would confirm their hatred of America. Not safe enough for any current studio to exploit.
Pre-Op. Iraqi Freedom Iraq has been tried, but scrapped due to the fact that veterans are still around so its still a sore subject, and the whole conflict is hard to turn into an adrenaline fest due to the relative inactivity of it.
Russia was a superpower that fell due to its own economic blunders, shitty leaders and general incompetence. They cannot respond to American taunts anymore, so they are an even safer subject than Nazi Germany. And the propaganda pumped into American youth ever since 1947 hasn't faded, so companies are looking to capitalize on those planted triggers. Arguably the greatest attack Russia has ever made on America is that now politicians that give handjobs to big business now don't even have to work to find a bullshit argument against legislation trying to stop exploitation of the sick and dying.
The hate against Russia is partly because companies figured out that we all have mental triggers in our subconscious that will make us shut off our minds when we hear the word "communism" and transform to a state of hyperactive twat-ery. Obviously as well, its the last time that America went up against an enemy that could stand up on its own.
