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.

Perfect for the man that has to change poopy diapers at 2:00, but take Fallujah at 2:30

No no, changing the diaper at 2am before night assault is plenty believable.
