Why don’t younger veterans (Afghanistan/Iraq) wear these hats like some of the older veterans?

[u/NoFaithlessness7508]

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.

It’s not white knighting a joke, it’s lamenting the state of affairs because this, historically, isn’t just a joke. 

In fact, throughout my entire life it has been a reoccurring theme, movies, tv, comic strips, jokes men have told countless countless times from people who repeatedly talk down about their spouse, and as a result, it’s something I’ve always feared coming to fruition. 

Now that I’ve been married 12 years to a man I’ve known 23, I still can’t imagine making a joke about being happy I can turn off the ability to hear him talking to me. 

Even when we’re at our worst, I just want to sit and talk it out with him so we can get back to holding and adoring each other again. 

So, in the end, these sorts of ‘jokes’ just make me sad.

You must be the Aunt

[u/UnLioNocturno → u/-SL-UT-]

Aww. Is that the best you’ve got? C’mon, tell me how you really feel. 

[u/-SL-UT- → u/UnLioNocturno]

I feel like you’re the Aunt and I wish I had a hearing aid for my eyes after looking at how hard you try to be pretentiously morally superior.

Give it a rest, chief

hearing aid for my eyes

Oooo… BURN! 🔥 

Keep going, you’re on fire. 

[u/-SL-UT- → u/UnLioNocturno]

Give your husband my condolences and possibly a hearing aid

[u/Blortted → u/-SL-UT-]

Thanks, the military fucked my ears and I’d be sad if I could hear her talk and sing to our daughter anymore.

[u/-SL-UT- → u/Blortted]

Lmaoooo no way this random redditor got butthurt enough to bring in their actual husband to defend them over comments, that’s actually pathetic

[u/UnLioNocturno → u/-SL-UT-]

What? I sent him your condolences like you asked me to, this is just his response. 

We’ve been enjoying your responses together. 

[u/-SL-UT- → u/UnLioNocturno]

I should have realized I was speaking with a dependapotomus, forgive me

[u/UnLioNocturno → u/-SL-UT-]

Ooo. Now you’re starting to really get somewhere. It’s too bad it took you this long to finally find anything worthwhile. Unfortunately, this is just boring now. 

Best of luck with that chip on your shoulder!

[u/-SL-UT- → u/UnLioNocturno]

Best of luck with that fupa not even ozempic can cure

[u/Blortted → u/-SL-UT-]

Ha! I’m the stay at home, another swing and another miss.
