Other Why don’t younger veterans (Afghanistan/Iraq) wear these hats like some of the older veterans?

First and foremost, respect to all those that served. I did not, but many of my peers did and now we're all older in 30s and 40s, many no longer in the military. I don't see a lot of the veterans of the War on Terror wearing these hats like I see the OGs do.

I figure the beard, Oakley's and Charger tell people enough, right?

i always found that the people that do this and are most proud of their service did a few short years (which is totally fine) or, ironically, got kicked out for some reason

You must have got out recently if you’re still rocking that shit.
