We could tell who you were by your haircuts.

It's always been that way...lol.

In Germany, we had another distinguishing characteristic: green license plates on our cars. It really made German drivers angry when I passed them on the autobahn.

During my last two years in Germany, I spoke the language well enough to earn quizzical looks from those I encountered for the first time. You know, "he looks like an American, but he sounds like a German."  lol

Or the fatigues. But you wouldn't know if we'd been in Vietnam.

Very vivid memories of '68 and it was worse.  The country's treatement of anyone in the military at that time was sickening.

Communist counterculture goons got a pretty good foothold.  Thank God our country finally saw through it, and survived.

This may be shocking to some people but I was treated well in the NYC area. Nearly everyone knew people who'd been in uniform or had themselves been in uniform.

Yes, I was thinking about that.  There were a number of incidents, without question and our returning troops were treated shabbily, but I wonder if it sort of equates to being a conservative in a leftist stronghold now.  Like going out to see a conservative speaker and having antifa show up.  Or, going out to dinner at the Red Hen, or an Italian restaurant in the DC area, etc.
