By GM's definition George W. Bush is a Vietnam veteran. He sat on his ass in the States while men died in the jungle. Bush is a veteran, but he damn sure isn't a Vietnam veteran. Bfine's point is dead on, if you claim to be a veteran of a war that means you served in theater, not that you were in the service at the time of the war. Hell, if you were a REMF but were actually in country you can claim war veteran status. If you never put a toe in the theater's soil but claim to have served in that war you're a lying piece of garbage. It's OK, though, you have an agenda you're pushing, I'll let the facts as presented speak to others who read these threads and they'll decide for themselves.
