Gum was staple rations for military personel, and as often happened with other GI rations during wars around the globe, was left behind as a symbol of All Things American. Why gum after dinner? I don't know specifically, but for that matter: Why mints after dinner here, stateside? Maybe garlic. Maybe it's just refreshing after a heaping serving of kimchi.
