No, YOU imply that. The law says no such thing. In fact, the law draws a distinction between the two. It could have said, "Any person who served in the armed forces of either side during the Civil War shall be considered a United States veteran." But it doesn't. It says confederate veterans shall get the same pension as United States veterans. It's saying, "here are two groups, and they get the same thing," not, "here is one group."

You can claim what you want to claim, but that doesn’t make it Law. The Law states what I have expressed.
No more opinions, please. Show us clearly in the Law why Confederate military veterans are NOT U.S. military veterans, and I will concede.

So if we are supposed to recognize them as “US Vets” does that mean we can call them Yankees (Damn or otherwise)?

Then should we assume the Confederate military was a foreign military, and not a military of the United States?
