I read where HuffPo retracted he said he was a Vietnam Veteran and they made the mistake, but SSF's link seems to show he stated he was a Vietnam veteran. 

I served during the Iraq war; although I never was deployed there. If I say I'm an Iraq War veteran is that just semantics? 

I have nothing but respect for those that serve. 

Personally I would say it is the same.  You served.  

Leave the outrage for those who didn't but claim they "would have" or that even without serving they know more about the military than anyone.
