This poll is for everyone regardless of age, country, or military status. Just think in regards to what you think about the census in your own situation.
"Due to the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq the number of military personal serving in a combat theater has increased... so to has the number of individuals claiming to be war veterans of WW2, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War and the various hostile engagements during the 1980's and 1990's.
For example, between 1954 and 1975 2.7 million Americans served in-country Vietnam. An additional 400,000 Americans served in Vietnam waters. In 1995 a group of veterans organizations led by the American War Library conducted a nationwide survey which reported that over 9 million Americans claimed to have served in-country Vietnam... making it apparent that over 6 million Americans registered false claims.
To date the United States Census which is conducted every 10 years has never counted the number of living war veterans who served in-country or in-waters during a conflict period... the U.S. Census counts only "Era" veterans.
