Certainly the individual served time FOR the military; but didn't serve IN the military.
Just about everything that you can get in civilian life.
Any person that has served their country IN the US military forces honorably; is a military veteran. Civilian contractors working for the military are NOT military vets.
A civilian contractor is there to make money. He is NOT in the service of his country as a member of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, or Coast Guard. Other than the standard issue of combat pay, over-seas pay, etc. servicemen are NOT in a combat zone (over-seas) to make money (although the smart ones do make money by saving it...if there's no place to spend it) they are there on orders of the US Government. Civilian contractors can quit, military personnel (at least up until the Vietnam War) could NOT quit, if they tried, the stockade would be awaiting them. Civilian contractors can state that they have worked for the military, but they cannot say that they have SERVED IN the military.

300,000 women served in World War 2 in both the military, the Red Cross, the USO, and in civilian jobs. Most of them were in the military.
Anyone who served their nation honorably in wearing the military uniform, in war or peace, is a veteran.
Eligible men were usually drafted and served in the military (mostly Army), while women worked as nurses and in factories. There were male/female farmers, railroad workers and a few other civilian tasks, but, most men served in the military and most women worked in factories. A few women served in the military, but, these were volunteers (99% of the time).
No, not if you roll your profit into your new home. Additionally, serving overseas doesn't exempt military folks from capital gains tax.
The United States has a strong tradition of civilian control of the military. A total of 40 million people have served in the United States Armed Forces.
No- Harding had no military service.
The nurses of World War 2 were already nurses. They left their job positions to join the military branches and go overseas. Some nursing students were rushed through their nursing programs to finish and join up. Many nurses switched from civilian jobs to military jobs to serve in the USA so other existing military nurses could go overseas. Some nurses joined the Red Cross.
