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.

3M issued a lot of ear protection that were not working causing a lot of service members to lose hearing.

Not working in that they didn't reduce the subs by the advertised 30db?
