Decent question, proud of what they acheived, or proud at there current position. But yes it is a risk to display "I am military or prior military". First target for terrorist. People have been told it is a risk to display overseas or at home but those who choose to do so make a statement that they are Americans and are not afraid. Foolish, but it is what it is for each person.

Along the same argument is the "Thin Blue Line" stickers, black back ground with a horizontal blue stripe. I would not want my vehicle identified as such, were I a police officer, as it would invite some retaliatory action on the part of a gang member or angry wanna be felon. The retaliation may be on a family member instead of the officer. Besides, I know plenty of people that have them on their cars that are not officers.
As far as the military stickers are concerned...I would think that terrorists would prefer softer targets, and not someone who is trained to do something about it.
To the OP, good thoughtful post.

I was told by the manager of our local MVA, that county pride stickers could be perceived as a possible "victim" status when going into our state's urban areas.....I told him that works both ways.........so I got 4 of them....
