Yeah, my wife’s grandfather wouldn’t ride in our toyota Rav4, because he was a Pacific Theater WWII vet.

He would, however, ride in the Lexus SUV, because he wasn’t aware of its pedigree, I guess.

I was berated by an older gentleman for my Hyundai Elantra Wagon. He saw my military stickers on the windshield and asked me how I could do such a thing given WWII.

I asked him to tell me when we had been at war with South Korea and then I would think about getting rid of it.

He walked away muttering about "buying American."
