I think they are seperated by “Viet Nam vet” and “Viet Nam Era Vet”.
A guy I used to work with was a viet nam era vet. He was drafted and went thru bootcamp. One day they asked if anyone knew how to type and he raised his hand. He took a typing test, passed and was shipped to NATO HQ where he did his tour.
He was drafted in 1968.

A lot like my story. I was drafted in 1967 but spent my time overseas in Germany. I'm careful to point out (on occasions when discussing it with others) that although I am a Vietnam era vet, I am not a "Vietnam vet".
