29. I was in the Air Force, and it does mean something else.

That's the beauty of it, isn't it?

But wait, there's more: In the first place being "woke" is taken by some to be a horrible thing. And if you're a woke veteran, that's double bad. And finally, if you're "woke as fuck," there's no hope for you at all, apparently.

Oddly enough, though, I posted that picture on a nostalgia page for one base I served at. The base existed for only 12 years, and was very, very small. So the guys who were stationed there like to chat with each other. On that page, those old veterans seem to think the hat is cool. So, not all veterans are Trumpers. That's good to know.
