LOL! Loved the part about the VFW. I heard the same thing and I am not ex-military. Any fake former SEALs hanging around with the former tunnel rats? ;-)
lol, I don’t recall for sure, but yeah, I’m sure there are a dis-proportionate number of them....
Our VFW had no common grunts who drove trucks or bulldozers, no dental assistants, nothing like that, just war heroes with a million stories to tell to anyone willing to pay for their next round of Budweiser.
Our VFW has more M65 jackets than the local army surplus. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guy in the Legion wear a field jacket or combat boots to spaghetti dinner or casino night.
Not trying to knock it, but I gave up wearing that stuff the day I got home. I will humbly wear a dress uniform for a parade or a wake/funeral if required, but I’m not the type to sit at a bar and wear fatigues, which seems to be the required dress code at our VFW (that or a leather biker vest is a close 2nd).
