Sir, as I've mentioned before, we do not use the term “veterans”, and our reservist system is absolutely not comparable to yours. The integration of veterans in your society is outstanding. I've had a lot of chances to attend occasions where veterans were involved.
When we talk about comparable things like veterans, we are talking about reservists totally, but the duty time for reservists ends. For example, if you are a conscript for nine months and you become a reservist, your time of duty as a reservist ends at the age of 40. If you are serving for a time of up to 20 years, depending on your rank, the latest point at which you end your time of duty as a reservist is 50. After that, you are out of the forces and you are no longer a reservist.
All those who are reservists have the title behind their rank--for example, lieutenant-colonel of reserve. That is the only system we have. But if you've reached the retirement age for reservists, you are no longer a member of the forces and are not a veteran in those cases.
