Question:

Hi Jim, I got drafted in late 1965. After ally training I was sent to Germany during the Vietnam war. Does that classify me as a Vietnam vet?  Thanks for ur response'

I'll be darned, I was in Germany soon after you in 1967 and I served out my obligation there until 1970. You and I are not Vietnam vets, we are Vietnam era vets. Other than agent orange presumptive ratings, our benefits are much the same since we all served as we were told to.
