Looks like I am a Korean War Vet but never been there!
Is that right? Were you in Korea before the cease fire? Or did you not have to be to be referred to as a Korean War Vet. Is that enough "tos" and "bes?"
Do we call Vietnam the Vietnam War?
Think about it, have you ever heard the label "Korean War Era", or "WWII Era" vet? No, I didn't think so. This only happens with Nam. MSgt, I was in when we were pulling out of Nam. I posted to Germany twice during the Cold War. You don't have to be in a combat theater to be a vet of that era.
I really hate all this bickering between vets. And to the civilian, shut up! We all served the greater mission!
Thank you for your service!
