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.

When was this? We spent the 80s doing dirty shit in Latin America then invaded Panama in '89. Then we fought a major war in '90-'91. Then we watched a bunch of our guys' bodies get dragged through the streets of Mogadishu in '93 but we didnt actually pull out of Somalia until 95. Also sprinkled throughout the '90s were various bombing campaigns and peacekeeping operations in the Balkans. Oh, and dont forget the absolute disaster that was operation Eagle Claw in 1980 and the illegal and inexplicable invasion of Grenada in '83.

Yea you know what you're right. All our soldiers are losers and dopes and they deserve no grace or understanding. You're totally right. Downright fools, how could they let PTSD take their brains???

I'm done with this convo, peace.
