Best Answer

In the strict definition, yes; but for benefit status, not necessarily. Only those who are discharged under honorable, medical, or certain administrative discharges are considered veterans in the eyes of the VA. Bad Conduct or Dishonorably discharged service members lose their veteran status in the government's eyes, though status can be reviewed on an individual basis.

There is also a time and status requirement; technically you're not a veteran until you've served a minimum amount of time on active duty, which is usually a day.

Was Elvis a veteran?

Yes he was. Any one who serves in any branch of the military is technically a veteran, so Elvis is a veteran, but not a war veteran. This is because he did not fight in any foreign war. WWI was from 1914-1918 and WWII 1939-1945. Elvis was inducted into the army on March 24, 1958 where he was then stationed in Germany. Then he was honorably discharged two years later and came back from Germany to continue his acting and singing career.
