It doesn't necessarily depend on how long he was in--it's more an issue of when. It's still taking some red tape, even now, for Vietnam-era veterans to get benefits. Sometimes it requires referrals and declarations from an outside doctor, which is tough to get if you have no or limited health insurance. The VA benefits can be great, but they're not as easy to get as some people believe.
