Anybody else ever heard of such a critter? There is a old guy I see at the local Hardees fairly often that started showing up wearing one of those blue ball caps you see that are sold that have stuff like "VN Vet","Korean War vet",USN Vet",etc,etc,etc. The difference is his says "Cold War Veteran" on it,and he has a bunch of badges and other crap pinned on it. I asked him about it the first time I saw it,and he says he wears it because he was a veteran of the Cold War. Come to find out he was in the Coast Guard Reserve so he could avoid the draft and get a government job.
I don't really know if I should laugh or be mad. IMHO,pretty much everyone alive on the planet prior to 1990 is a "Cold War Veteran",including the children born who were still infants when it ended.
I probably should have asked him what the badges stood for,and if one was for syncronized swimming,but just decided to leave it alone
