Dear Watkeo Kuma, I respect your grandpa for his wisdom. As for my own (paternal) grandpa, i never heard any wisdom from him, as he passed away when I was a little child. When I was growing up, I learned from my dad that my grandpa was an officer of the Cambodian military during the French protectorate. My grandpa was of the Lon Nol's generation and was a buddy of his (they were so intimate friends that they talked with each other using the Khmer words "rha-eng anh"). They and a few others were of the highest ranking Cambodian officers at that time (of course there were higher ones, those were the French). They fought in battle fields against the Viet Minhs. My grandpa had plenty of experience fighting the Viet Minh guerrillas. If he had been still alive during the 1970-1975 Cambodian war, he would have been a definite asset for the Khmer Republic's military. So both your grandpa and mine fought against the communists, although in different ways.
