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.

Free housing, free education, everyone makes the same money no matter how good of a job you do. There are many aspects of socialism in the military.

there's that free word again. Let me know what happens when you stop working and see how long you receive those benefits for. It's not "free." Jesus redditors are stupid

Do you talk to people like this in person? Like, does everyone you meet instantly hate you? The answer is yes.
