Veteran - means you fought in a war- or armed conflict. Not everyone that was in the military- is a vet.
For a long time, Vietnam 'vets' were not allowed to call themselves 'Vets', because Vietnam was called a police-action.
What are these Millennials basing 'this is a vet' on?
At the portland, the 'wall of vets' were mostly made up of out of shape cosplayers in their 20s that could not get in to the Army based on height and weight restrictions- and could have clime' d that fence while being fired on.
No way he was in Afghanistan and joined a bunch of posers. He was a pussy that cheered at another soldier being blinded by a communist with a lazer.
No way someone trusted their life to his cover- he was clearly untrained.
I hate it when people like you make shit up... You are WRONG.
Under federal law, a veteran is any person who served honorably on active duty in the armed forces of the United States. Discharges marked “general and under honorable conditions” also qualify.
I can't read uniforms to know what it signifies, but it looks like an ROTC uniform to me, which doesn't mean he served in the military. Combine that with the fact that he's said to have been the caretaker of his disabled girlfriend for the last 10 years, and they met in high school, and he looks much younger.....I'm gonna just assume they're trying to say he's a vet for optic reasons, when he may have only ever been in ROTC when he was in high school.
I think if he was a vet, there would be more pictures than that already available. I think some idiots in the media just saw that picture and started calling him a vet.
Depends,
did he stick the barrel in the dirt?
Or let it drag on the pavement?
Is he the 'properly registered owner' of that gun?

Maybe 4-f reject ?
wrong. Vet just means you were in the armed services COMBAT Vet means you saw action.
Wrong, They are actors, portraying actual vets, but dumb actors with live guns.
he's absolutely wrong
It is like someone from another country with limited knowledge of our history, culture or legal meaning of words- put these riot teams together.
It is actually a crime to claim to be a veteran and fought for our country- if you have not. It is called Stolen Valor Act of 2005
when is peacetime?

'Libertarian', ironic since he was helping people block in someone and basically kidnap them. I guess libertarian in name only?
The story they're pushing doesn't add up. If a second shooter was in the crowd, it was likely another protester. The autopsy will tell the tale.
I don't know what he is, but here's an old picture of him in some type of uniform.
