The oldest ones are over 100 years old if they are alive I was there in 1966 at age 19. There were guys there in their 40s Do the math. I even met some French and German vets that were there in the 1950s
Only 5 years separates a Korean War vet from a WWII vet; the vast majority of WWII soldiers, marines, sailors, and especially pilots fought in Korea. Today an 80 year old man might be a Korean War veteran...and/or a WWII veteran. Vietnam vets would be in their late 50's by now. Many Vietnam War NCOs (Non-Commissioned Officers/Sergeants) & OFFICERS in Vietnam had fought in WWII and/or Korea. The US commanders in Vietnam; GENs Harkins, Westmoreland, and Abrams all fought under GEN Patton during WWII (Westmoreland fought at the Hurtzgen Forest with the 9th ID in WWII).

The average age of the American soldier in Vietnam was 19. Some as young as 16 and others as old as ? Actually, that is a myth. None of the enlisted grades had an average age of less than 20. Assuming KIAs accurately represented age groups serving in Vietnam, the average age of an infantryman serving in Vietnam to be nineteen years old is a myth, it is actually twenty-two point eight. The average man who fought in World War II was 26 years of age. (information from http://www.vietnam-war.info/myths/ Thanks) Byakko
