Why Veterans Wear Operator Hats

Hello guys a good friend of mine ask me this question so I wanted to make a video about it, thank you for watching.

[@rodchambers6714]

Thanks for your service brother. And I'm not a veteran, but I did purchase an operator cap and put our flag on it along with the Christian flag, got the patch from" righteous grunt". I wear it to support the veterans and also to show my allegiance to God and my country.

[@ricardokanimin7851]

Rod Chambers where can I buy the Christian flag

[@GOBUCS82]

Thanks for Your service brother, Thanks for posting this video and The info. I subbed, God bless You. 🇺🇸🦅

[@rls303]

Great info on this one. Thanks Mario

[@Its2loudyer2oldmotovlogs]

Very cool vid man!

[@ivantoxie]

I always thought that if the flag was on the front, a hat or on armor that it should be facing the normal way because it never seems to be retreating like it would on the sleeve. Doesn't mean I'm right but it's what I always assumed. Anyone else thought the same? I remember the guy who started Grunt Style, he was a drill at Benning. Good guy.

[@ThecrazyScotsman]

Cool video good stuff nice information

[@vborg001]

Awesome Brother!!

[@johnrodriguez3870]

As a Prior Service USMC and US Army Veteran (1987-1998, with 1 Year and 4 Months in the Army National Guard ( ARNG ) and US Army Reserve ( USAR) ), I have, and continue to wear, US Flag 🇺🇸 Operator Covers ( called " Headgear" in the Army and Air Force, and " Hat" by Civilians) and Combat Shirts with Tactical US 🇺🇸 Patches. Even on Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Army and Marine Corps Birthdays, Independence Day and Veterans Day, I tend to wear a Woodland Camouflage or Desert Camouflage Pattern M81 BDU " Raid Mod" Combat Blouse with Forward and Reverse US 🇺🇸 Patches.

[@firefighteremtandrewhurst7269]

hooah!!!

[@abcxyz9643]

Appreciate the video and your service to our Country. I don't understand the facing forward flag on a hat. On the sleeves it always made total sense to me. If you were carrying the flag it would wave behind you. The hat thing almost led me to doubt myself on the true meaning and history. I am not a veteran, but I am a proud American and always a supporter of our troops. I have stayed away from wearing more flags as I am always afraid it is a bad look for someone who was not in the military. I am starting to rethink that though. I just need a shirt that says I am not a vet, I just support them.

[@JJ-zj3pq]

Awesome

[@tbailey60]

Correction at 4:15. I worked the Texas prison system for 5 yrs and we wore the American flag in the same fashion as well.

[@LetFreedomPing]

I wear the stuff mainly because they are usually veteran owned companies and I want to support my fellow veteran. And I agree completely, as a veteran, I love civilians who wear the stuff and support veterans. But Seeing a hipster rocking a pair of skinny jeans, acu blouse and a blue chord makes me want to choke him out with it lol. Basically, I'm all for it if you don't have to earn it

[@jderpz23]

I agree, last year when one of the kids in my class kneeled during the flag (I was 14 I woulda got away with it lol) I about jacked him up.

[@kold1783]

Except when the guy rocking skinny jeans has those type of skills: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bInFYX6hfZall6s

Thanks brother for explaining the reason the turned around flag. Vietnam Vet 11 bravo

[@bxbmbr766]

I like your videos got into it starting with the Titan Video I was game

[@chrisbarajas6885]

great video Mario. for those who haven't had the honor of service, the stars on the flag always face forward because they're held in the highest regard so it's worn (reversed) on the right side and (forward) On the left hooah

[@gammondog]

That's right. A flag held by a standard bearer in a charge would have the wind created by his forward progress blow the stripped side back leaving the union facing forward. The opposite orientation would imply retreat. Americans never retreat!

[@williebulletman5217]

I just want to say thank you my brother I wish I could be in as long as you . Yes sir that flag is part of our soul

[@firefighteremtandrewhurst7269]

it's my dream to serve in the military

Go for it, I’m currently in Ait. It’s not to hard.

Get youe NREMT-B or P before you join. If you can in as an NREMT paramedic, you can try out and go out Special Operations as a Medic. You will be fast tracked through the Civilian portion. You can even go Medic instructor especially if you come in as a BLS instructor.

What brand of operator caps Do you have?

[@hecknah5433]

Where do you buy high quality operator caps?

[@RS-jh2kl]

I wear alot of Under Armor gear because of the sweat resistance and odor. I toned down alot of the Veteran stuff, because there is alot of anti Veteran sentiment here in NYC. I gotta keep my head on a swivel.

[@bittmanbobby]

NYC and LA are run by the Devil. Wear veteran things with pride, don't let these mindless sheep influence you

Especially shirts and jackets and always the hats,I do because I earned the right to show it ....I’m proud to be an American veteran ! Like my shirt says.....this is my flag...if you don’t like it,.. I,ll help you pack ! Good vid brother..!

I'm not veteran or American but I love American flag attires. I wear em too because I think it's beautiful flag, beautiful history & respect to you sir.

[@jonw7937]

The flag on the uniform signifies that you are moving forward toward the enemy. It's supposed to mimic the flag waving behind you as you carry it into battle.

[@pikarari]

What's with the backwards flag on the hat

[@chadtrips3203]

Im a veteran and I pretty much see the grunt style sh!t rocked by the "I should have served guys". As for the hats.......I'm guilty.

[@justaguy4real]

so how exactly were you attached to SF units?? bc its clear you're not a SOF operator in any capacity

[@Rhythmicbodywork]

Huh, just because you were stationed stateside at ft Carson in Colorado Springs doesn’t make you detailed or attached to 10SFG at all. They have their own POGS doing shit work. So this guy says he’s 11B.. so 4th ID .. just claim what you are, nothing wrong with that.

[@jefferybutler2489]

@mikeyb byekim please tell us how your able to identify a "real operator". What characteristics help you to classify sf?

[@s.powell335]

Anyone promoting the United States these days is an American patriot! These days we need all the patriotism we can get.

[@LittleLouieLagazza]

"STOLEN VALOR", that's why. Leave that "swag" to the operators, who don't dress like that anyway.

[@ms.annthrope415]

As a veteran who served in peace time, I wear boonie hats with some hat pins on it with snarky sayings when I go fishing, going to the arts and crafts show or to the neighborhood Fourth of July parades and summer activities. I also wear my original issued M65 BDU jacket during the winter time that still has my name, rank, and US Army tape on it. I don't wear any stolen valor stuff on it. I donr pin on jump wings or Airborne, or Ranger tabs if I didn't earn it. I was a REMF cuz that's where Uncle Sam sent me to. Did my time, got out, and said the hell with it. It's not stolen valor.

[@eltenda]

[@justiceusa559]

I ware it proudly🇱🇷🤣😘I served my country what have u done ?

[@gammondog]

I think the flag would look better on the side of the hat instead of at the front. It's just too much. No disrespect intended.Perhaps a small unit or service insignia would go well at the front.

[@BaconSlayer69]

Don’t forget the Bonnie hat too

[@blakesatterfield7411]

First of all, it’s called “Assaulting Forward”, not “Facing forward”. And if you were truly a combat veteran you would know that the flag patch on your multicam hat is Incorrect!! It is “correct” and proper to wear the assaulting forward flag patch on your RIGHT shoulder so that it is “assaulting forward”. Hints the reason all of your “tactical shirts” have the “assaulting forward” flag on the RIGHT sleeve. It is not proper to wear an assaulting forward flag patch anywhere on the front of your uniform. But you already know that, right?! Lol So let’s make sure you are “displaying it properly” there bud!

[@AlexKS1992]

It's actually disrespectful to use Old Glory as a fashion statement. Not insulting your fashion sense but Stars and Stripes should never be used for fashion. I find it revolting to treat a flag of a country like it's just a thing to be worn.

[@AlexKS1992]

@@mario3804 I'm not Antifa nor am I moron but what I am is a man that treats the flag with more respect. Just because fashion or society says it's okay that doesn't mean it is. I'm not trying to be an asshole or start something I'm just saying the flag should be treated with more respect and should not be treated like a fashion statement. To call me anti-American is preposterous and asinine. I'm a patriot and I care more about how our nation's flag and Constitution than a bunch of nitwits who thinks it's okay to treat Old Glory as an accessory.

[@AlexKS1992]

If you don't believe me look up American Flag Law.

[@AlexKS1992]

To be specific it's 4 US Code § 8

[@aaronrood4508]

From the United States flag code - The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free.

[@bifftannon1431]

Let's Learn The flag code is referring to a flag that goes on a flag staff.

[@daytonraught629]

Yes you can’t wear a literal flag. A flag design is authorized
