[QUOTE="Stan Upchurch, post: 1804781, member: 24489"] So, I guess if your a. non war, boots on the ground, vet who served during the time of a war, you are just plain out of the picture. During the Vietnam War I served in Korea for 13 months. As far as the VFW is concerned you are a war vet because Korea is a police action in a state of truce with no declared end. As far a the VA is concerned serving in Korea under truce does not qualify for benefits, unless you can prove that what you did there caused you a medical problem. So in my case I make to much money as a retired person and I never got injured. So am I considered a vet that can get anything? Or was my three years of service not countable. I wasn't a draftee I was RA. Just lucky to have not gone to Vietnam. [/QUOTE]
