Yes, this. I know about all the other stuff related to the war and the peace movement, but why the Asians do that, This is not just the Japanese who do this, many of the Koreans and Chinese young people do it too. I do notice only the foreign ones do it, and older folks do not.

I was curious when I was waiting at a stop light near a high school and these kids were taking a photo and they all had their Vs up making faces. These were American kids. You old farts are no help, I gotta ask the kids
