Are you having people live to age 130+ over there? I find that very hard to believe.

Well if somebody had said that maybe you'd be on to something.  See, lifetimes are getting longer.  In the future, it's very likely that many many people will live to be 130 (and more).  That shouldn't be hard to believe at all.

I didn't think of the child soldiers thing, but I wouldn't be shocked at all if there are a handful of people hitting their 130s in 2089.  In fact, I'd be more shocked if there wasn't.

This doesn't seem entirely consistent. The first Israeli-Arab War ended only a couple of years after WWII so why would their last veteran die 13 years earlier? And the Korean war ended 8 years after WWII, why would their last veteran die 16 years later? And the Yom Kippur war preceded the Yugoslavian war by about two decades and yet their last veteran would die a year later?

Wars that have a lot of people in them have a greater chance of one of them living extraordinarily long.  Wars involving more 1st world powers are going to be more likely to have extraordinary long lives.  Yes, even pointing these things out there are still some inconsistencies in my guesses.  But let me repeat that....GUESSES.  I'd also like to point out that I'm the only person to actually respond to the OP with more than one date.  Not that I'm complaining...just saying.
