Veteran title should only be applied to people who have seen active combat, it lessens the term if you apply to to everyone who took a government paycheck to drive a jeep around domestic barracks.

Anyone that joined the armed services wrote a blank check to the American people to include any amount of service to their country, up to, and including, their life.

Even if they were stationed for their entire career in Hawaii or a naval base north of Chicago, our Deep State controlled politicians had the power, with a stoke of the pen, to ship them overseas into a major war.
