Distinguishing between the us and them of the military and civilian is a clearly delineated binary. Yet, if the line demarking military from civilian is obvious, it is far from finite. Within this demarcation or border lies the veteran. One who has traversed both sides of the line and yet no longer belongs to either side. Veterans belongs to both and yet neither caught in the haze gray but never again underway. Anzaldúa's (2012) borderlands method is extended to explore the veteran identity as a nebulous borderland between military and civilian cultures. Border crossings, identity development, intersectionality, deficit discourse, and microaggressions are explored through qualitative analysis including stylistic narrative and anecdotal writing.

阴霾呈灰色，但再也没有发生：退伍军人边境

在我们与他们之间区分军事和平民是一个清楚地描述的二进制文件。但是，如果从军人到平民的界线很明显，那还远不是有限的。在这个分界或边界之内的是老兵。曾经穿越过线路的两侧但不再属于任何一方的人。退伍军人属于这两者，但都没有陷入灰蒙蒙的灰烬中，但再也没有进行过。AnzaldÃza（2012）的边界地区方法得到了扩展，以探索退伍军人的身份，将其视为军事文化和平民文化之间的模糊边界。通过定性分析，包括文体叙事和轶事写作，探索了过境，身份发展，交叉性，赤字话语和微侵略性。
