It depends on your definition of veteran. If it means that you served in the military, then yes. Many offers and discounts apply to any former service member who can prove their service. Many, however, also require an 'Honorable Discharge', versus, say, Other than Honorable, or Medical.
However, to join a veterans' organization, such as the VFW, you need to be able to prove that you were actually in a war/conflict.
I, personally, wouldn't try to claim it unless I served at least a full tour of duty, unless I was discharged for war injuries.

Is chp 11 an honorable discharge?
The way I was explained the condition of this Discharge, is that it is UNCHARACTERIZED, and most times "UNDER HONORABLE CONDITIONS", as to say Honorable and does not bar you from reentry into the Military after a due course of time. Supposedly, it can become honorable under certain conditions, mayhaps after 6 months of service with the Military. In some cases, as when a commendable soldier cannot pass a specific training, he/she can become eligible for the General "Under Honorable" Discharge, upon exiting the Military. After 6 Months of Military Service, one can become eligible for Veteran Status, gaining government due Veteran Benefits. SPC MEDINA
