Blake makes it sound like the turn from peace to violence was sudden.

I think something happened that caused the original leader to step down and the members to support a new one with violent methods. Maybe something like a pacific manifestation being violently repressed, resulting in members of the White Fang getting killed, creating a desire for revenge.

Also, the age at which people have kids can be very early when you are talking about the poorest or most disadvantaged groups. Blake's parents could have been in their teens when she was born, against human couples with a better living condition who could plan their parenthood.

Whatever, I was aiming at that the students' parents could have lived the war but it still having ended before they were old enough to fight in it.

Whatever the case, Ozpin looks old enough to have fought in it.

My main problem witht he idea Ruby's and Yang's parents having been soldiers is that Yang, at leats, doesn't seem to have anything against the faunus; I mean, she didn't get up to help Velvet but she did answer to Weiss accusations to the faunus. Then again, maybe the Rose and Xiao Long were the equivalent to our worlds pacifists.
