National Guard members who were activated for Federal duty ARE entitled to veteran's benefits on the same basis are other veterans, whether regular military, reserve, or guard. National Guard and Reserve members who have never served on active duty are not veterans and are not entitled to VA benefits (George W. Bush is in this category).
