From their experience of these two wars, they know what to expect. Not that they know how to fight but that they know what could happen as a result.
Edward Tully Oct 15, 2009:
Hi Yolanda, is the overall context that the people know what it is to suffer or that they have learned how to fight? Many thanks, Edward. Any clue re the wars? World Wars? Civil wars? Any timeframe?

[already understand] what it means to have lived through the two wars

Perhaps you could use 'understand' for "tienen la experiencia", which allows the introduction of 'what it means'

Thanks, Jenni! My first thought was "know," but that affects the rest of the translation
