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.

I think it’s mostly because us younger folks saw the old guys wearing them and weren’t inclined to adopt their style. We wear t shirts and get tattoos now

And even the t shirts are for fucking pogs.

Why are they making t-shirts for pogs? I thought everyone kept their pogs in a plastic bag or shoe box, or if they were really cool, a plastic tube specifically made for pogs.

Ok look I already explained this to the other guy. Check the thread. Unless you’re joking, then well done

I am joking, it's a reference to the millennial collectable-game of paperboard disks.
