No they don’t. People who separated and didn’t retire are veterans, but don’t get military IDs. They can get a VA ID or some states will add veteran to their license.
My dad is a veteran, and he will sometimes ask, and sometimes they will ask him. Almost always, especially in restaurants, he just says that he is, and they give him the discount.
Serious question - in places where they offer military or veteran discount how do you check? Do you ask them to show some relevant id?
My partner shows a VA card when asked.
Did your partner eat Iraqi children or Afghan children? Which one tasted his favorite?
Oh look, a coward.
If you read through my post history you would likely edit “coward” to something else more fitting…
Pretty much, yeah. Every veteran and their spouse (and kids under 21) has military ID.

You also have your old military id. Even if expired it should work 99.99% of the time.
The one you’re supposed to return?

The big box hardware stores, Home Depot and Lowe’s have sort of set the standard. There are a few ID cards that they accept as proof.
At the end of the day it is up to each store how they handle it.
