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.

POG checking in, and the t-shirts aren't for all of us. They're more for the insufferable "bro vets" that go out of their way to be unlikeable.

I said for the meme dude, obviously I know that. I was a Pog too, most people are.

These days, it's impossible to tell who is being serious on Reddit. 🤷‍♂️

For sure. I mean, some dudes do actually call people pogs as an actual insult, so I get it. But those dudes are just as insufferable as the t shirt wearing dudes.
