When will the last veteran of ________ die?

[Gustaf]

WWII-2042
First Israeli-Arab War-2029
Korean War-2058
Vietnam War-2089
Six Day War-2084
Yom Kippur War-2092
Iraq-Iran War-2082
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan-2091
Lebanese Civil War-2080
Persian Gulf War-2099
The former Yugoslavia-2091
Afghan War-2112
Iraq War-2112
South Osettia War=2101
Libyan Civil War-2099


Our lives are going to start getting quite a bit longer over the next several decades.

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.

Fair point and fair point.
