Okay, so my roomie was tellin me the other day that in all actuallity, a vet is someone is serves his or her country by being deployed to a war zone. I for one was in the army and had that chance to serve my country. However, I was never deployed to a war zone. In fact, I was never deployed ever when I was in the service. She was telln me that I should not be considered a veteran. Do you guys actually believe this crap? I for one am a veteran and she tells me that I am not. So what can you tell me is true...I would really like to know.
