...I don't see how any of that would have prevented her from having done a tour of duty as an army doctor, been honorably discharged (as most soldiers are when their service is done), returned to civilian life as a doctor and then lost a patient and quit.

Unless you can enlighten me? None of what you said would have prevented her from having been a veteran, provided it was at least a few years prior.

Didn't see your edit before I responded, but really? Unless that's directly stated in the show, I don't really buy it.

Found that too. I think that's what I recall reading before.

I don't see anything that directly would do it, no, but like I said. Two episodes. Maybe some reference will be made to it or not. But really? Even aside from that she's a good character; altering a part of the background that is not essential to the story they want to tell--or maybe needs to be as it is for the story they want to tell--doesn't change the fact that she's still Watson.

No, it doesn't make her not Watson, but there was no reason as far as I can see (perhaps you're right, perhaps they'll explain it at some point or it will become clear, but also - perhaps they won't) to make that change, small part of the original character or not. Combined with the fact that female veterans are often erased from public recognition as it stands, it's a unfortunate missed opportunity at best, extremely uncool at worst.
