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.
