Vietnam hats aren’t trophies. They’re badges of survivors. They know they lost. They were fucked by our govt while they were there, they got their asses kicked and then came home to a population that didn’t see them as heroes like previous soldiers has experienced. Everything about that war was a shit show and it’s no surprise so many of those vets couldn’t transition back into civilian life.
I know at least one who was very proud of his war crimes, and I do mean very specific things he did and told to me as a child. I hope they never take away his antipsychotics.

And many came back with serious health and mental problems too! I know I was married 2 Vietnam vets. The fought and suffered for their government.
And yet they vote for a party and administration who would and will gleefully send people into the same situation again without hesitation.
