a veteran stupid
A person who has or is serving in the armed forces.
If you served in a combat zone yes. If not, you are a war era veteran.
Yes, being a veteran doesn't have anything to do with whether a person has seen combat. It is a term that indicates service, not combat. Keep in mind that defense was still a high priority, and the military continued to function during the war hiatus between 1976 and 1991. Also, even during a time of war, only about 35% of service members come close to a combat zone; the vast majority is logistics, supply, and support.
Those in a combat zone usually slept, ate, and read or wrote letters. Those not in a zone of combat were usually training and getting ready to move into a combat zone. No matter which army they served soldiers had the same desires, rest, food, and family.
A peace time veteran refers to an individual who served in the military during a period of peace, which means they did not experience combat or deployment to a war zone. These veterans may have still fulfilled their duty and responsibilities, such as training and supporting military operations during non-war periods.
Only veterans who have served in an overseas combat zone may join the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Veterans who served during any war, not necessarily in combat, are eligible for membership in the American Legion.
If someone is working in an active war zone or combat area, injury or death is a possibility.

Battlezone, frontline, combat area, battle ground, or war zone. Those words mean combat zone.
NO. Anyone who has worn a military uniform in service to their nation, war or peace, is a veteran.
When not in a combat zone, and off duty, "normally" one can wear civies (civilian clothes).
