If you've been retired 12 years, then we served at the same time... It also means that your uniform (ABU) is no longer in service. Even if the ABU was still in service, id have a lot of work to do before I could blend in again... And I'm sure you would as well 😂

Going without identifying markings isn't anything new. OSI & special forces operate like that all the time already. Every single military member is going to have a CAC card and generally you'd be integrated with some unit. Outsiders stick out because no one seems to interact with them or know them. Military members are trained to identify and call out people that don't belong. In the air force the saying used is "every airman is a sensor". Basically, civilians, even if wearing the uniform correctly (hard to do) stick out because their mannerisms are all wrong. The way you put away/put on your cover (hat) looks weird if you haven't done it thousands of times.

Active military members are accounted for. You can't just "pop off to the Mexican border real quick".

I just don't really see the scenario that you're trying to insinuate.

If someone's got all that, then they're active military members. Also, the squadron would instantly recognize you as a new face and you'd suddenly become the center of attention within minutes. Even if you have a convincing story, everyone wants to know where you sit in the chain of command. Hell, the way civilians stand would make you stick out.

Where is the Meme?

So here's the thing: we don't know that, really. If we find a spear that has one side sharpened and it's dated 40,000 bc, then we find another spear and both sides are sharpened dated 30,000 bc, it may appear that way... But we literally have a vague guess at best. If 1 million years from now an archeologist finds a kitchen knife and concludes that in the 2000's we were still figuring out double sided knives, then they would be hilariously wrong.

Yeah, but that's not really what im talking about. If doxing is terrorism, then doxing is terrorism. If it isn't then it isn't. "Rules for thee but not for me" doesn't really fly outside of circlejerks.

"I hate crackheads

I hate crackheads"

Ah, yes, you're absolutely correct.

So doesn't that mean it's a housing bubble issue? It seems like the focus on 1971 is designed to mislead people to think it's not a (very) recent phenomenon. This just seems like another "grr boomers" post which is just more division that serves to redirect anger from the ultra wealth.
