Well unlike Amaya who can connect with animals through the Anansi totem, Kuasa can't. That is how Mari was able to beat Kuasa in Season one of Vixen. So that is why Damien did it. (Also because he is a fan of Grodd) Plus Damien picks when he teleports others and when he goes in himself based on the danger level. First, why would Kuasa (or anyone else with Mallus for that matter) need to control animals to rescue Grodd? All she needed to do is just grab him mid-air and teleport out of there, Damien was just waiting in 2017, I kind of get that he already had knowledge of what had occurred, I just found it lazy.

Second, why is Amaya so devoted to the U.S. military at all?! Did they rescue her at some point in her life and she is just thankful, I don't remember that being explored in the last season like I already said, I just thought that she was part of the JSA because of her unique skills and abilities and she just helped to end the war that's all. However, she really wanted to help the U.S. GIs just because they were U.S.  GIs, not just because they were soldiers! Maybe I could see the comradery angle, but she didn’t serve in the army, she was always with her team and they didn’t train nor did missions as soldiers, but she is really attached by the way she thinks the soldiers should not have been at that R&R camp with alcohol and prostitutes all around them, etcetera. Kuasa is not that good with negotiating with people as shown by Season one of Vixen where she decided that threatening Mari's life was the best way to get the totem on her neck. So it made sense that the job was given to Darhk. Not that lazy.

Well i am guessing the JSA had worked with U.S soldiers for a long time. So that bond would probably develop during her time serving with them. I honestly don't interpret Amaya helping the U.S. soldiers as her being specifically loyal to the United States. She was there on a mission to find Grodd, working together with the soldiers makes perfect sense. Also, she is shown to be generally devoted to saving people in general, regardless of where they're from. I'm pretty sure she would still have tried to save them if they were Viet Cong soldiers instead.

Damien teleporting Grodd was probably very easy. All he'd have to do was ask Mallus where Grodd was and, upon learning that he had engaged the Legends in 1967, all Damien had to do was teleport Grodd moments before he would have died in the napalm.
