The VA reserves the right to administer their programs on what they consider appropiate US Military conflicts. Often times they can be VERY SPECIFIC; they will want to know, specifically, which Gulf War (which conflict/which Operation): 1. Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988); the US was involved with this war: the USS Stark was struck by an Iraqi missile, killing many US Sailors. The USS Vincennes shot down an airliner. 2. Operation Desert Storm (January and February 1991). 3. Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003- )

According to the VA "veterans administration" you are not considered a veteran of the armed services until you have completed 180 days of active duty not including time in training such as basic training and ait. This would also preety much rule out all or atleast most people in the reserves and national guard. my two cents- It is ignorant to say that "This would also pretty much rule out all or at least most people in the reservist and national guard." Especially since the war is being fought mostly by reservist and guardsmen. Yeah right "One weekend a month".
