"So, I just heard something on TikTok and wondering what people think. This lady says she hates when people who haven’t served in the military wear camouflage. She thinks it’s disrespectful. I never even thought about it. But, what do y’all think?"
I replied that I am an Army veteran and yeah, it sometimes bothers me just a little to see pieces of actual uniforms e.g. OCP Blouses badly worn and mixed. It is not a big deal but it is kind of cringey. But it is not my business to tell other people how to dress.
I guess the reason is we spent years taking pride in making sure we looked right. Also the more patches and distinctive insignia (rank patches, unit patches) the more offensive it is IMO. No one cares about cargo shorts made of old BDU pants but a jacket with a veteran's name and rank still on it is wack.
What is your thoughts about this?
