I am ex-military also, retired. Somewhere down the line these folks found a home with the biker crowd. It’s a odd juxtaposition, back in the 60s the bikers were very unsavory, to be mild. Very anti-war, very anti-establishment. I don’t broadcast my service at all anymore. Except for here, a little. Just not worth it.
