But my policy is not to take on vets.

Please tell me you are not trying to be an idiot. To be a veteran of the US Armed Forces, you would have to have been discharged from service. KIAs are not veterans.

No one else really cares what anything is to YOU. You are an idiot though. Combat has nothing to do with whether or not one is a veteran. There are many veterans that never saw a single day of combat but deserve just as much recognition as those that do. They still signed up to put their life on the line and serve their country.

So, they are not veterans once they reach the threshold as defined by the GAO, even if they are not in combat, according to you?

That's what you are alluding to when you said "They are still vets to me once they have one day in combat" Since it mutually excludes non-combat service personnel.

Since when does GAO make definitions. I never talked benefits or pay. There are a number of programs depending upon status and still dont change the fact if they were in a combat zone one day its Combat Patch and vet status. Benefits is another issue even for Vietnam, Desert storm, etc. Benefits are all different so dont try the GAO crap been there.
