Have a different name like former service man, veteran is for those who actually fought and actually risked their lives.
That's right.
Iβm not splitting, Iβm sharing my opinion. If you donβt like it, you donβt have to agree with it.
This.
Both my boys are/were enlisted Marines. Each sustained debilitating back injuries in training prior to deployment, but neither saw combat. Each were medically discharged as a result. Are they veterans or are they not in your opinion?
looks like most don't agree... that's MY opinion and observation.
Youβre free to it, America is great.
Veteran is for anyone that served honorably.
Combat or not - doesn't matter. I volunteered for Desert Storm but ended up in Turkey. In the end our base was actually attacked with live fire and we were designated as a combat zone anyway. None of that matters though because we were serving in a designated time of war/action.
Edited - I was slightly wrong. I was using the veteran definition that allows membership into organizations like VFW or the American Legion. I updated this to fix it. My initial comment limited it to serving during a specific campaign, like WW2, Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, etc. but those requirements only pertain to those memberships.
38 U.S.C. Β§ 101(2) provides: The term "veteran" means a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable.
