I was involuntarily separated from the Army in '98 after enlisting in '96. Should I be ashamed of my time or accept being called a vet?

I do not know specifics of your case but will say if you were separated with an Honorable Discharge You should not be ashamed to call yourself a Veteran.

You shouldn't be ashamed because you did something few people are willing to do

Thanks for your service brother. You're a Vet as much as I'm a 24yr Vet! Someone else said it: hold your head high!!!
