War veteran
A veteran is someone who is experienced. A veteran actor has done a lot of acting; a veteran football player has played a lot of football; a veteran cameraman has taken a lot of pictures. A special type of veteran is a war veteran, someone who has served in and experienced a war. Often when people say "veterans", that is who they are talking about.

The most common usage is for former armed services personnel. A veteran is one who has served in the armed forces, especially one who has served in combat. It is especially applied to those who served for an entire career, usually of 20 years or more, but may be applied for someone who has only served one tour of duty. A common misconception is that one had to have either been in combat and/or has retired from active duty to be called a military veteran. Short answer: complete a tour of military service.
