Marty, the Army does not want anyone to feel bad, they just want to have diversity, gays, lesbians, transgenders, that is more important...

In example: Truck Drivers, Food services, Pay, Logistics, Medical mostly what is known as Combat Service Support. The cook in the chow hall does not need to be Army, Navy or AF, he does not care nor does the soldier eating chow.

I don't know which war you were in but in mine (Viet Nam), people with those MOS's were definitely able to experience enemy fire (mortar and rocket attacks) and some even small arms fire. No reason they shouldn't wear insignia they earned. That said, there were lots of people with combat MOS's who never were sent to Viet Nam; it is really a crap shoot where you end up. You went where they sent you unless you cowarded out and went AWOL to Canada or Sweden.

In the old days (before Lyndon Johnson, I think), "veteran" meant combat veteran, not just one who had worn the green. But having donned the green, you are the one who wrote the blank check to the government.

That is exactly how I was taught by my parents and Grandparents and that was in the Nixon days. I'm proud to have served but don't claim tom be a veteran. If you can join the VFW then you were a vet....or have they changed the rules there as well??????
