The meme surrounds discharge papers — known by veterans as the DD-214. If you’ve spent any time on military or veteran-oriented Facebook pages and sites, you’ve probably seen a number of DD-214 memes. They usually appear in the comments section of a Facebook post that shows one of the less appealing elements of life in the military. Then, someone who is no longer in the military, posts this in the comments: ![]() Now, the online store [American As F\*ck](), a military and veterans clothing company, has a polyester fleece DD-214 blanket for sale. The blanket went on pre-order October 23 and quickly sold out. It’s not apparent when American As F\*ck will have the item back in stock, but I would stay posted, if I were you. Personally, I’m debating buying a DD-214 blanket, but I’m worried it’ll end up replacing my woobie. ## Author James Clark is the editor-in-chief of Task & Purpose.
