Probably not an officer. Officers get a nice pension package when they retire, enough that they can afford private health insurance and not have to sit in lines at the VA for healthcare. I would absolutely loot officers pensions if I were President. And take all that money, and give it to enlisted.
Officers, like enlisted men, only get a pension if they serve for 20 years. But anyone who served on active duty, and received an honorable discharge, is considered a veteran.
