[QUOTE="Hirschkopf, post: 4075937, member: 50724"] Used the Bing AI search to ask "Who is a US military veteran?" Most concise source seems to be: [URL unfurl="true"]https://va.org/what-is-a-veteran-the-legal-definition/[/URL] Bottom line: What is a Veteran? Title 38 of the Code of Federal Regulations defines a veteran as “a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service and who was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable.” Since there is no time defined for amount of time spent on active duty, I suppose Active Duty for Training (ADT) while in a reserve component would count. I still wonder what one's status had to have been at the time of discharge/release. FWIW, I'd consider the OP's friend a veteran. I served 23 years and change with 20 years, 1 month active duty.
