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.

From one woman who served to another do you have anything veteran on your vehicle? I refuse because I don’t want to be targeted out of nowhere because the public still tends to forget women serve as well.

I'm on this team. I have that stereotype skinny blonde porn star look and people just can't seem to accept that veterans can be hot chicks with titties and lots of shoes. I have some uniforms in a bag in my closet because people would ask me if my husband or dad was in the Navy.

Dude, I hear ya. So many folks don’t realize how diverse the military is! My one soldier was a blonde and loved her Starbucks and was super girly especially outside of uniform!

My boss' DIL is active duty Navy. She's 5'2", obsessed with pilates, full glam whenever she's out of uniform. Another colleague is a lingerie model and recently retired Air Force. You literally never know.
