By law, yeah. They are.
Sounds crazy, but it is true. Pensions and all.

Which makes desecration of their graves (removing headstones, etc.) an attack on US Veterans with some serious consequences.

Looks like I struck first when you didn't like me calling out your Confederate heroes as the traitors they were.

Guess it's time to ban desecration of Nazi symbols, since they're veterans were just as much Americans as the Confederates were.
Ever see a Buddhist town in Southeast Asia? It's unnerving to see swastikas everywhere.
The main difference is the Nazi symbol has the swastika tilted so it stands on a point, while the Buddhist symbol is displayed with a flat side down.
Backwards it is a Nafti, the swastika is actually a swastika...

WTF??
How are Nazis veterans of the US; because you're really stretching here, in your desire to be aligned with Desh, Buckly, Domer, and a few others??

Right, so, by virtue of passing a bill, we can declare military veterans of any nationality to be veterans of the US.

If that's what they want to do; but you could try to deal with what is, instead of what you want it to be.

And what is, is that we currently allow one group of foreign nationals to be considered US veterans.
