Haven't you just answered your own question: it can't be in reference to a particular war due to the timeless nature of the series, so it instead refers to some unspecified past war?
Given the technological time frame of Gotham, the story has to have happened in the last 50-60 years in the US; and there has been no shortage of past wars in this timeframe. Even if you expand it to 100 years, you'll still find that there will always have been a recent past war.
