I would have to believe, if talking about the American attitude towards the possibility of Global Thermal Nuclear War, the general indifference of our increasingly self absorbed population is likely to blame. It is interesting you allude to a herd mentality.
When the mainstream entertainment media is constantly drilling it into the minds of people that "It's all about you", it is very easy to forget that there are other people in the world who have weapons who want to kill you. I'd wager that many people nowadays are so very much out of touch that they may not know who the major players are/were in the nuclear arms race.
