    The 1990s were so heavily propagandized, it’s a wonder every single millennial didn’t sign for the armed forces after 9/11

        That’s uh… No. Campaign/War Service Medals mean you were serving at the time of a campaign. It does not mean you signed up after the war started. Although anyone who signed up afterwards did get it. They also got the National Defense Service Ribbon and the Army Service Ribbon. But literally everyone in the Army on or after 9/11 got the GWOT Service Medal. Soldiers also think this is ridiculous but the brass is addicted to shiny shit.
