Vietnam and Korea just to name a couple besides WWII.
One of my grandpas was drafted into the Korean invasion - and the only photo I ever saw of it was him with some children he’d given his rations to. Very much a pacifist- the only time I saw him mad was when he saw that my brother and I were playing call of duty, and he talked to us about why glorifying war is so terrible. Which is a funny contrast to my wwii grandpa - the only thing he liked more than glorifying war was hitting us with a belt!
Ps - Actually this is also partially unfair. Since being diagnosed as neurodivergent I’ve reflected a lot, and am pretty sure both grandpas were as well, but one received empathy growing up in a white collar household, while the other did not and was from middle of nowhere in a household of miners/farmers/lumberjacks/blacksmith/whateverpaysthebills. Still no way an excuse, but I know they didn’t just fall from coconut trees. But yeah one side likes to emphasize that the men have been in every war since the English colonized the US
