You are only a Vietam vet if you were deployed in Vietam during the war. If in the service during those years, but only stateside, you are a Vietam era vet

My Father served in Vietnam from November, 1964 to November, 1965. He was in the air force in a non-combat role. The Veterans Administration considers him a Vietnam Veteran, and he receives complete VA benefits for his tour and for being exposed to dioxin (agent orange).

If you fought in Vietnam during the war, you are a Vietnam vet. If you do veterinarian service in Vietnam, you are a Vietnam vet. If you fought stateside during the Vietnam war, you are a Vietnam era vet. If you did not fight in the war during the war, you are not a Vietnam vet.

Of course not!! thats crazy! To call someone a Vietnam vet if they did not fight there is ludicrous and an insult to the great young men who died there. Remember that.
