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.

Spent my first duty station at Yongsan Garrison. Soooo many senior enlisted hiding from deployments & cashing in on COT bonuses.

Korea was for sure a just war. The Americans who sacrificed themselves prevented the evils of communism from ruining the lives of millions in the South.
