From what I've seen, they're mainly associated with one side of the political spectrum. The other side never did use them.

There are plenty of signs like "a combat veteran lives here, please be courteous with fireworks."

Are there veterans in classrooms saying they can’t read books about war though? I don’t know how common this is but I suspect the original comment might have a point that one side of the spectrum has elevated victim status into a source of power/authority.

You apparently don’t know many combat veterans if you think they predominantly sit on only one side of the political spectrum.
