Looks preggers. Saw where he spent 8 years in the army, did not see what military action he is a veteran of. All you have to do to be declared a veteran is serve? Did not realize participation trophies had infected the culture that far down.

Too young to have been in Vietnam...too old for the Gulf. Possibly Grenada...but that’s it.

Yes, 6 month’s active duty is all that’s required for veteran status. Deployment to a war zone is not a factor.

Anyone who wore the uniform long enough is a military veteran, but not every military veteran is a combat veteran. There are a great many pencil pushers who are military veterans.

Yes.

It has been that way since there was an organized military.

Sorry if that triggers you little snowflake.
