Absolutely not. It is like being pregnant. All or none. I collected scrap paper, string, and kitchen fat during WW2 as a child. Does that make me a veteran?

What does standing for God and country mean?You were not in the military but you want veteran benefits. Explain that thinking please.

No, it is not equivalent. You must be a military veteran to receive veteran's benefits.

No. Being a veteran means you served in the military and received an honorable discharge.

I know nothing about VA benefits, but I think they are only for those that served in the military. Being a good citizen alone will not qualify you for VA benefits. "Stood Up for God" is admirable, but has absolutely nothing to do with any government benefit, other than freedom of worship.

While standing up for G and Country is a fine thing to do, if you were not in the military, then you were not in the military. VA benefits are available only to those who actually served. It's that simple.

No. It is in no way equivalent to military service.
