Well, I stand corrected. I thought they had changed the membership requirements to accept those who served during wartime. I knew a lot of WWII vets growing up who were members but told me they’d never been in combat.
I also notice those who served during the “Indian Ocean Operation” are eligible. Hell, I helped build the base at Diego Garcia in 1973 but I’m not eligible.
Guess they’re learning they’re just a little too picky.
Nope. Peacetime soldiers can’t join.
