No, military retirement and military veteran status are not the same. A military veteran is anyone who has served in the armed forces, regardless of the length of service or whether they retired. Military retirement specifically refers to individuals who have completed a certain period of service, typically 20 years or more, and receive retirement benefits. While all retirees are veterans, not all veterans are retirees.
