Father: WW II (he helped liberate a concentration camp).

Uncle: what some call WW III. He was a CIA spook in Germany at the height of the Cold War in the late 1960s!!!!

Fiancee's grandfather (if he counts; this one's pretty amazing): a bona fide Red Army hero at the evacuation of St. Petersburg/Leningrad, became a general and participated in the final assault on the Reichstag!

Hey, does anyone share with me the bemusement that America supposedly beat Hitler? Do you know how many Soviet citizens died defeating him? Is this not a bias of history that begs correction?

Me (just a wimpy blackbelt): hope to fight in the real World War III if one of those fundo nut morons jumps up and attacks a stewardess on an airplane. That would be kinda fun... (Apart from that, I might aptly be described, as per Jesse Ventura, as a "chicken hawk"--very hawkish in my view that evil should be fought unapologetically and head on, with the full unfettered force of our military, as we're doing--more or less adeptly--in Iraq. It's unfair, I know, because I've never been in combat, but I have fought a criminal once, before my training, and would again in a heartbeat if the situation presents itself.)

Both grandfathers fought in WWII and neither liked to talk about it.
Atleast my paternal grandfather served all Finnish wars between 1939-1945.
And if I remember correctly my few my great uncles died in Finnish Civil war.

My paternal great grandfather Archibald Stacey was with the Light Horse in the ME in WWI, and went to Gallipoli.

The rest of my relatives have been the wrong age to serve, as such. (my dad too young from vietnam, my granddad too young for WW2, and a farmer to boot.)

I had an uncle serve in the SAS, but I'm pretty sure he never went on Ops, not that he'd say one way or the other.
