Not a problem. No apology needed for a simple mistake.If I mistakenly identified your status, then I'm sorry.
I think I was wearing a raggedy old army shirt in that 1971 photo with a motorcycle.
I didn't win the lottery to go to Vietnam, so I had no understanding that Army Surplus clothing meant anything. All I knew is that the clothes were comfortable, durable, and cheap...and they smelled good. I guess people who have been in some sort of Military situation associate military clothes with military people, and, to tell you the truth, I've never met a military person I wouldn't want for a friend. I just wasn't lucky enough to get drafted into a horrible war in a foreign country.
I still wear Yard sale/ Salvation Army/ Goodwill t-shirts that my sister sends me, because I have no sense of style. Women in high heels or "cocktail" dresses scare me. I've heard that women think those things enhance their sex appeal, but I just assume their feet hurt and they don't want anything to touch their expensive clothes. I'm just as oblivious to men's clothing styles. Old Army clothes are really good quality. That's all it means to me.
ps, here's a page with a photo of the terrorist clock.
