Can a person be a Veteran and still be active duty?
There is actually a code (or at least during the Viet War there was) that designates VETERAN status. And that code cannot (or could not) be awarded until completion of military duty which satisifed that code's requirement. Therefore; if a veteran (an honorably discharged serviceman) re-enlisted into the US military...he would be a former veteran on active duty.

In the context of the Korean War or any other military conflict, a "veteran" is any person who has gone into combat and then returned, whether with wounds to show for it or unharmed.

Why are veterans left homeless?
For the same reason's other people are homeless. The rule is this: if a person has a specific personality before that individual went into the service...that person may still have that personality when the individual leaves the service; but that personality be expand or regress...based upon the life experiences of that particular individual. Only a truly "shell-shocked" man, who was perfectly normal before he went in (to the service), may be mentally influenced after the war...to become homeless. And in such an event, the VA is there to help him. During the Vietnam "era" it WAS the Veteran's Administration Hospital's policy to NEVER turn down a veteran.

A military veteran is anyone who has worn the uniform of their nation's military and rendered honorable service with an honorable discharge.

No. H.R. 1025 passed the House in 2012 but has not yet passed the Senate. Currently, you are only considered a veteran if you served on a Title 10 tour of duty. 99% of all National Guard active duty is served on Title 32. H.R. 1025 won't cost the government a penny, but until it becomes law, service in the National Guard does not make a person a veteran.
