I'm tired of pretending this fascist rag is a normal thing to see people wearing in public

I accidentally linked a "Vietnam era vet" hat instead of a "Vietnam war vet", which I'm not sure I've ever seen, but the war hats are super common. If you walk around an American downtown you'll see at least one decrepit dude repping his war crimes...
Imagine if this model was 30 years older https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/vietnam-war-senior-adult-man-military-veteran-holding-hat-picture-id487666570
There’s an old guy in my neighborhood who’s a Vietnam vet; he did one tour in the army and got out. The back of his car is covered in military-related stickers, and it’s front and center when you talk to him.
I’m sympathetic that he was tossed into something heavy at 18 years old, but I don’t understand basing one’s entire personality on, and ruining a nice paint job for, something you did for 18 months, 54 years ago.
Finally, he’s a big Trump fan.
I think it's often a gender identity thing, they can't consume their way to masculinity because they're too poor so they embrace combat, the only other capitalism approved expression of maleness.
