I'll just pick WWII and say 2035.

It'd probably be a bit later. Someone who was 18 in 1945 would've been born in 1927 and most of these last surviving veterans are dying around the age of 110-111.

Yes most biologists think max human lifespan is 115.

Vietnam War-2089
Iraq-Iran War-2082

What? The Iraq-Iran War ended a good 10 years after the Vietnam War did. Also the Iranians notoriously made use of child soldiers, based on other lifespans around slightly later than 2082 is likely. But someone would have to live to be about 130 to be a Vietnam War veteran in 2089. Hell 2089 is over 110 years after the war ended.

Well if you think that there will probably be living Iraq-Iran War veterans in the 22nd century.
