My father fought through six years of WWII and he was one of the least prejudiced people I've known-he expressed no negative feelings towards Germans at all, so no, wars don't always scar people in that way.

i just saw andymcj66's response and it reminded of the fact that even though my grandfather was a first generation german-american who grew up in missouri speaking plattdutsche (a saxon dialect spoken mostly in northern germany), he chose to fight for his homeland during world war II, not for an insane dictator who disgraced our people forever. he was very much persecuted in the army due to his roots and accent, yet he returned home a decorated and honored veteran who fought for what was RIGHT, even though some of our family was imprisoned in what they called "patriot camps" (the american version of a concentration camp), simply because of their national origin. of course he never bashed german people. but i always admired him for having the strength to not hate all americans, because his fellow soldiers weren't exactly nice to him, and neither was the rest of this country.
