I'm not worried about pension benefits. It's the definition of veteran.
You said you have 3.6 million veterans in France, and 361,000 are receiving a pension. What is the definition of veteran in France? You said earlier that if you served 90 days in theatre somewhere else, then you'd be a veteran. For example, you served in the first Gulf War--I believe it was the first one. You served 90 days, so you will be considered a veteran when you leave the service. But if you hadn't served overseas, if you'd stayed within France, or if you had become injured in your training as a new recruit, for example, would you be considered a veteran then?
