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.
he said a veteran has to see combat and he's absolutely 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.
Wearing a fake uniform or decorations is one thing but if you served and left on good terms you are a veteran.
It is not illegal anymore, because you can be an 'actor' and 'act like you are' - but only serving in an Armed conflict AND being in the armed services- makes you a real veteran people are respecting. We get to call them stupid actors and humiliate them because of this.
They want real respect? You pretty much have to 'really' earn it- [like Dan Crenshaw] in any of our armed forces serving in armed conflict 'to get it' from members of our armed forces. Otherwise, they have a right to meme them in to oblivion while the rest of America, that did not serve, but has a close family member that did, plays the smallest violin in the world over a bad actor's hurt feelings.
WRONG! It's illegal to pretend to have certifications or awards. If you fought you will have a campaign ribbon - but ALL people that served and left on good terms are veterans - do the research...
The stolen valor act of 2005, I mentioned that- but a lawyer can argue they are in costume 'acting' . Many of the 'wall of moms' were guys wearing yellow shirts, that change roles.
crazy to think that kids born after 9/11 have never experienced this. it’s not like the world was sunshine and roses before that day, but we may never get back to “peacetime“ in my lifetime. shitty thought
I hate it when people like you make shit up... You are WRONG.

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.

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
