I'll occasionally see guys like that, wearing a hat with Korean or Vietnam war veteran. You have to be a demonic sludge monster to be proud of fighting in those wars on the American side and yet they wear their veteran hats to get $5 off at Dairy Queen.

The Vietnam Veteran hat is the original participation trophy, cmv

Yeah, having a better understanding of those wars than when I was younger (especially Korea). I now completely understand why both my grandfather's who were in Korea never wanted to talk about it. Like they'd talk about the time at base and whatnot but really never much about what happened when they were in Korea. Especially my one grandfather who was in the Air Force.

My great-grandfather was an army psychiatrist during WW2 (Japanese theater) and Korea. I only knew him when I was a really small kid, but yeah he also never wanted to talk about it. He probably wasn't proud he went to Korea.

He'd talk about being a doctor and being overseas, but I never saw him wear a veteran's hat or an American flag pin or anything.

Yeah, that's pretty similar. I know the one basically told his family repeatedly that he didn't want to be buried with honors (I think that's what they call it) and actually adhered to the request. My other grandfather was buried with the whole ceremony but I don't think he really would have wanted it. A lot of my family are complete chuds so it pretty much was going to happen come hell or high water.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
