I think what bubblyrat said was in fact refering to your phrase:-
"It was not for this that my father and grandfather fought in two world wars"
Was it Hyperbole?
"Hyperbole is overstatement or exaggerated language that distorts facts by making them much bigger than they are if looked at objectively."
I dunno - but lifes too short to get upset by such things.
