Default Military ID card for vets who aren't military retirees

I haven't seen a thread about this yet, but if I missed one please delete.

Apparently a law authorizing the issuance of a military veteran card to guys who did some time but didn't retire (thereby getting a retired ID card) has passed and is awaiting signature.

Congress Passes Law Creating ID Card for Veterans | Military.com

Some states will put a veteran indicator on a DL, but not all do and not everyone has a DL.

The VA will issue a health card, but not everyone qualifies for VA health care (I don't).

It seems like a good idea to me. I never ask for the vet discounts and I don't walk around with a DD-214, but it would be nice to have the card. I wonder if it would work to shop in the commissary or BX?

Would you get one?
