First of all, thanks for your service. A lot of us have family that is/was military. I don't think anyone is saying anything against that or the amazing organizations that they are a part of. My grandpa was a WWII vet, my dad a Marine during Vietnam and my uncle is retired Navy. No one said that you had to join these orgs, so why don't you calm down? If you take the time to read what other people are saying you would see that A LOT of fraternities already accept vets. Every university, fraternity, and situation is different. There may not be a need for a vets fraternity.
A while ago someone posted that you should probably change your handle to one that doesn't represent any organization. I agree wholeheartedly. It's pretty ballsy to come on a greek website and say you're a legacy, it's another thing entirely to announce it in your screen name. You're lucky some SigEps haven't already torn you a new one and told you to change it.
My sister is an AOII legacy but if she ever walked around saying that or came to a message board I would hope to goodness people would say something to her. No one is saying it's not great that you're a legacy, but what if you decide to join another organization?
The truth of the matter is that you are NOT a SigEp and should not have their fraternity name in your screen name.
