It would be particularly strange for US’s military reputation to be damaged by a war it hasn’t lost a man in.

Modern war is about equipment not people. Especially in case of a conflict where one side is successfuly prevented from deploying any soldiers. War is about making the other side behave how you want them to behave. US is failing hard at that.

All war is about equipment not people; logistics has always been the primary weapon of war.
US is simply not a party to Ukraine’s war; they are supplying equipment in a very minimal capacity.

World literally does not care. If Russia wins, Russia wins. US loses, Western world loses. Loses all credibility.
Russia started it. US didn't run away soon and fast enough. Now the fight is on. If it ends with Russia winning nobody will listen to US whining "but we didn't really fight". Nobody will care. Neither opponents, nor allies. Especially not China.
