Oh, Mary was an only child, in 'Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things' Dean says that Mary's uncle put up her gravestone, so it would have been either Samuel's or Deanna's brother. ;) We still have no idea why the YED killed all of Mary's friends/family. /sigh
Hm, well, we don't exactly know how the crossroad demon brought Sam back, but I always assumed that the crossroad demons have special abilities, because they can obviously grant wishes that lie outside the abilities of normal demons as well, like healing deadly illnesses or gifting people with special talents (2.08). So, I think Sam was resurrected by the crossroad demon itself. I see no reason why a reaper should be standing by on John's death scene, doing the YEDs bidding. Reapers don't serve the agenda's of other creatures, they are independent. :)
Well, we don't know a lot about John's backstory, how long he was over in Vietnam and what exactly he has seen. He is still rather young when we meet him in 4.03, he can't have been in the army for all that long.
