My grandpa was a kid when WW2 was "played", so I have no-one who was actually participating.

My grandfather was only 18 in 1945. He was old enough for war just as it was ending.

My grandfather was born in 1935. That means he was 10 when the war ended.

You might be right about that Chuck, I might have to check that out. Besides that I've also had one uncle in Vietnam, and two cousins in Korea all survived.

I forget the exact years, but I think it was around 1967-1973. Somewhere in that time period.

I think 'Nam was the 60s? I always mix up Korea and Vietnam.

I think my grandfather served in Korea. Shit, I forget now.

Korean 1950-Present, as for who won Vietnam North Vietnamese it defiantly wasn't a good war for the US.

I would really say we got beat this war was so complicated, so many things played a role, imo we didn't belong there to begin with.

It is complicated, and I don't think anyone really won or lost. The point of the war was to keep communism out of Vietnam. Communism ended up "winning" in Vietnam, but its not that any country in the war lost.
