I guess it all boils down to a matter of perspective.
If one is a Cold War Veteran having once served overseas, freezing his- ass-off on lock and load on either The Korean DMZ or The West German/East German or Czech Borders even during: "The WRONG Years",...such time most certainly did not seem like peacetime. That's a valid perspective,...don't you think?
Whereas, if A Veteran once served in: "The Big One" (re. WWII), any Service to Country after January 31, 1955 is considered Peacetime Service. Sure, The Legion and VFW permit some time frames during the about a-half-century to be considered wartime service. But, so what? Any Veteran Segregation or Superiority amonst Veterans is just flat-out wrong (insulting of Service to Country also).
