I am a "Gulf war era" Vet. I was in Army from 1985-1991. I was definitely POG (person other than Grunt). I was in the rear with the gear, REMF = rear echelon mother fucker. I joined the service specifically for an electrons education, and I got it.
Has everyone forgot "The Panamanian War of 1989"? So I was in service for that too. I never shot a bullet in anger, was never sent to "the sandbox". I did my time, and got out. Anyone asks me about my service, they usually say "were you over there?" I say Oh Hell no, I was lucky, didn't have to go. And that usually ends the conversation. I did 3 years Nurnberg, WEST Germany, then 2 years Fort Polk, LA.

Ah, Fort Puke. What a wonderful place. Such kind and generous locals too.

The correct term is Vietnam Era Veteran, for various benefit and legal purposes.

News can't even fact check the guys age to see if it were possible for him to be a veteran. Let alone the fact they mis-represented his words of "Vietnam times veteran" and either intentionally or through ignorance thought that meant he was a war veteran.
This is a legitimate, solid example of the ineptitude of mainstream media and their lack of ability to perform actual journalism. It's no conspiracy, it's not someone's opinion. It's objective fact.
The Democrats are all frontholes and lie about that shit all the time. There’s a guy in the Senate for God’s sake that said the same thing...Da Nang Richard Blumenthal

"That's a hell of a way to treat a vet, man!"
"You're an animal doctor?"
