I think that for most people it depends on their age because they'll think of either the first one in their lifetime or the first one they learned about when they were young. I'm a 'Nam vet, but to me, the first war I'll always think of is going to be WW II because its after effects were still big when I was a child. Yes, there was Korea when I was small, but it didn't have any impact on me, especially when compared to WW II.<div class="yj6qo ajU">
