I doubt it. If it's a Vietnam vet hat and you're 30 years old I doubt anyone would challenge you on how you got it since they'd automatically know you didn't serve in that war.

Unless you look over 60 (Vietnam war ended 30 April 1975), no one will think the hat is about you, anyway.

you might get some military nut claiming you are wearing stolen valor but it is not illegal unless you try to claim veteran benefits for yourself.

I wouldn't claim I was in the military, I was just doing it to be ironic

I don't blame them. I'm not celebrating them though. Consciousness objectors were the biggest bad asses of all.

It's like ra-hee-ain on your wedding day.

A Vietnam cap on a Millennial.

It's the good advice that you just didn't take.

I'm not saying it's right, but be prepared for an unironic ass beating or two. Trolling Vietnam vets who overwhelmingly have PTSD is certainly a way to meet interesting new people.

Let's say that's true. Congratulations, you just beat up an old vet after mocking his service for like, no reason at all.

That's also assuming someone else doesn't jump in and light you up like a Christmas tree lol. Which is almost certainly what would happen.

I mean falsely claiming youre in the military would be worse, but just wearing it to be ironic still is disrespectful. Its basically cultural appropriation.
