Wrong focus here. It shouldn't be about the guy being a vet or a decorated vet or a disabled vet.
It should be about anyone, any time, wanting to transit a checkpoint without undue loss of dignity or hassle. That includes someone who may not be able to assume and hold the position for an infinite variety of reasons: war wound, stroke, Parkinson's, sports injury, etc.
