Depends on the veteran.

Timothy McVeigh was a Gulf War veteran who came back with a Bronze Star. Big deal.

While doing your duty for one's country is commendable, it is not the be-all and end-all of how one judges a person. In any case, if there are less-than-sterling opinions on how well he served, they are as valid or irrelevant in this argument as the many opinions on Bush's service that got aired here and elsewhere.

Who did you vote for in 1996? The medal-winning war veteran, or the one who avoided service?
