Be happy - Express yourself.

No disrespect but I think a pickup with 29 stickers expressing Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War vet and vote this or that, moose hunter, trophy hunter, hog hunter, NRA or whatever is a tad gaudy IMO......I am OK with it, and bear zero negative vibe ...just not for me

If you have that view for the stickers described above, then the one described below should also fall in that category.

And one or more "Come and Take It" cannon decals...A Little more belligerent

Just go with your old glory & combat vet stickers & be done with it.

I've got my airborne wings pinned just above the sunglasses holder in the roof and veteran marked on my drivers license, but nothing external on my vehicle. Especially not firearm related. It just makes your vehicle and home a prime target for theft. That said, if you fancy an American or POW flag, I doubt anyone would take it too personally.

You can tell a tree by the fruit that it bears. Patriotic stickers or signs of support for various beliefs is one thing. But the actions and words of a man or woman speaks volumes.

 

[DryHeat]

First... put whatever you want on your truck. It's your truck.

For myself, I've seen far too many "patriotic" displays on cars and t-shirts that convey the message:

"I'm patriotic and if you don't agree with me about (insert belief here) then you aren't patriotic!"

I've known many patriots over the last 72 years. They came in many different forms and held many different beliefs. Nobody has a monopoly on patriotism.

I guess what I'm saying is, there's patriotism, and then there's "I'm a patriot and you're not!" patriotism.

How to tell the difference? Well... you know it when you see it.

I think political stickers are dumb, as are gun stickers. The former paints a target on your back from both sides of the aisle, and the latter basically just says 'guns inside, come get 'em!'. If I have a sticker on any of my vehicles, it's repping a local business or it came with parts I ordered.

Americans are the only group on Earth who have this fetish for flying their national flag, and it is a subset of Americans in particular who do it primarily. I'm not in their heads, but it sure seems like, judging by their other stickers and such, that they are telling me they are actually the "real" Americans, and when I talk to them, they often confirm it by outlining how others are doing it wrong, in their opinion. When I see someone with a flag sticker, or hat, or shirt, I stay away from them these days. And judging by how angry it makes them when the flag is combined with causes and beliefs they do not agree with, it just isn't worth it.
I'm sticking to stickers from movies, I guess.

Somewhere along the way, we lost the most American of traits, the ability to agree to disagree. We began taking the most ridiculous of creatures, politicians seriously. And forgot that elections are just merely popularity contests, not to be taken seriously. Given enough time any politician will inevitably disappoint us. And it seems like the only good legislation is no legislation.

In the meantime, our national deficit has grown larger, our incomes have shrunk and materialism has made us miserable. And we forgot the most basic of American values: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The only answer that I can come up with is turning it all off, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Internet news stories, news channels, the whole lot.

I would never deface any of my vehicles with stickers. I just don’t have anything that important to say other than get the h#ll out of my way and that won’t do me any good on the back of the truck anyway b/c those folks are already out of the way, so why bother.

I served 24 yrs in the Navy and am 3rd generation Navy Vet, I retired Nov 2020. Isn't it crazy that flying our flag indicates your political party now? That flag isn't just a flag to me, I will always display it on my vehicles, house, and many shirts I wear. I don't live in fear, and will never change my beliefs because someone may be offended. I have risked my life for their right to not agree, but I will not cower from fear of my property being vandalized. Last thought, I would never use a bumper sticker on any car... things on windows or magnets but not a sticker. Haha

And there it is. The cringiest thread I'll likely ever see...

Just don't show the world you're an absolute ignoramus by putting both a tHiN bLuE LiNe sticker AND a Gadsden flag sticker on your ride....
