Not all Veterans are treated the same...

Advertisements [?]

Edited on Fri Nov-11-11 11:40 PM by matmar

I served in the US Navy from 1981 to 1986. That makes me a veteran yet I can't get health care from the VA because I didn't serve during a time of war.

I'm a veteran but I don't qualify for veterans preference points on federal exams for jobs because I served during a time of peace.

I'm a veteran but I don't qualify for a reduction in my local property tax because I served during a time of peace.

Not that I'm complaining. I just want to inform fellow DUers that not all Veterans are entitled to benefits set aside for Veterans.
