: Agree, "veteranstatus" is as nondescriptive in Swedish as in English, so it is correct translation.

: eftersom "veteran status" i USA är kopplat till rättigheter/förmåner är det *synnerligen* definierat

: Probly it has to do with "krigsveterans" but that's a guess by the translator. A translator shouldn't guess, only translate what there is.

Thank you for your comment. I suggested "krigs-" partly because I remember a misunderstanding that once occurred: I wrote about “veteraner” in the context of war, but the recipient thought “veteranbilar”.
