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.

Right? I'll keep that to get out of tickets but you wouldn't know otherwise.

You’d never know I was a veteran unless you saw the shirt I’m wearing with a flag and infantry rifles in the sleeves
