I was out the other night asking some people and they were telling me the difference, but also said that a person could be both. I just don't get it - how they are two different things, but can also be the same. My father is a "veteran" but he doesn't help sick animals. Then does that mean that some "vetenarians" can also be veterans?

A veterinarian is a doctor who facilitates sick animals. A veteran is a individual who has served interior the protection stress. they're 2 distinctive innovations, yet no longer inevitably jointly unique. a individual might have served interior the protection stress, and then gotten his D.V.M. (the degree to alter right into a vet). So he must be the two, a vet(eran) and a doctor. that's in basic terms like asserting "what's the version between a doctor (a individual who facilitates sick human beings) and a individual who has their doctorate (a Ph.D., an academic degree)? A physician facilitates sick human beings, a individual with a Ph.D. is termed wellbeing practitioner, yet could have this stepped forward degree is very very nearly any artwork or technological expertise. There are some people who've their medical doctorate (M.D.) and likewise have a Ph.D. so as that they are distinctive, however the comparable individual can carry the two. Or, much extra simplistically, what's the version between a mom and a shape worker? A mom is somebody who has a baby; a shape worker is somebody who works on shape. A mom could be a shape worker; a shape worker could be a mom. yet a mom does not might desire to be a shape worker, and a shape worker does not might desire to be a mom. that's the comparable with the veteran and veterinarian.

commonly a veteran is a person who served in the military during war time. A veteran can also be a person who has a long term of service in any field.
A veterinarian is basically an animal doctor.
So someone who has been an animal doctor for many years could be said to be a veteran vetrinarian.
Also im sure there are or were veterinarians in the military as animals such as mules have been used even during war time. So those veterinarians are also veteran veterinarians.
Both terms are often shortened to the term "vet". The context is how you distinguish between the two.

Veterinarian = Animal Doctor
Veteran = Served in the military
Is it possible that a Veteran is now a Veterinarian? Of course, if someone served in the military and is now an animal doctor, they would be a Veteran Veterinarian.
Veteran can also mean that they have performed a practice for a long time or are a pro at their field.

A veteran is a person that once fought in the army but no longer does. So he is an ex-soldier.
A vetenarian is an animal doctor.
So if a person who used to fight in the army stops being in the army, he is now a veteran, but is free to get another job and can now become an animal doctor, a vetenarian.
How old are you?

A veteran (from Latin vetus, meaning "old") is a person who is experienced in a particular area, and is particularly used in the United States to refer to people in the armed forces. It often refers to retired service personnel.
A veterinarian (North American English) or a veterinary surgeon (British English), often shortened to vet, is an animal physician and a practitioner of veterinary medicine. The word comes from the Latin veterinae meaning "draught animals." The word "veterinarian" was first used in English by Thomas Browne (1605-1682).
Yes, one can be both; having served in the military and retired and becoming a vet - two separate careers; however.

I'll assume you're serious.
A veteran is someone who fought in a war.
A veternarian is someone with a medical degree for taking care of sick animals - an animal doctor.
A person could be both, if they have both fought in a war and gotten their degree to be an animal doctor. Or they could just be one.
The two things have nothing to do with each other. It's like saying someone is an uncle and a pasty chef. It doesn't mean all uncle are pastry chefs, or all pastry chefs are uncles, but someone could be either either or both.
