Well, how does floating around the Atlantic qualify one for the Veterans Of Foreign Wars?

Membership to the VFW is open to those actually in a the area of operations,
as their name implies. Vietnam era service isn't enough.
The American Legion is open to all veterans.
The DAV limits membership to those who have a service related disability.
Each organization has it's own membership rules.

Just what is says. How does a "Vietnam era" veteran qualify for the VFW by being part of the Atlantic fleet?
