Buds will, in my opinion approve Veterans. The very 1st sentence references (Law Enforcement, LE or Veterans Discounts). budsgunshop.com/catalog/qualified_professional_discounts.php Most manufacturers include "Veteran" in their discount programs as well.

Martin I am sorry but unless you are active or retired military you do not qualify as per the link budsgunshop.com/catalog/qualified_professional_discounts.php

Active or Retired Military personnel

Hi Martin, I would call Buds and ask as it does say retired 859-368-0371. Many major manufacturers offer discounts to a large list of individuals they consider Qualified Professionals. Although commonly referred to as Law Enforcement, LE or Veterans Discounts, these discounts are actually also available to many other types of Qualified Professionals, including :
Active or Retired Military personnel - all branches
National Guard personnel - all branches
Military Reserve personnel - all branches
CAP - Civil Air Patrol
Fire Fighters - including volunteers
Paramedics and EMTs
TSA Employees
Commercial Pilots
Federal Flight Deck Officers
Air Marshals
Court Judges
District and Deputy District Attorneys
All sworn or retired Law Enforcement Officers - city, county, state, and federal
All Corrections and Probation Officers
State Licensed Security Companies
