It could be say that demonizing the OK gesture is an attack on veterans. In the French air force, that gesture was part of the standard ground check. So much noise that you can't speak, so the mechanics used it to signal all clear. I suppose the same was true in other NATO countries. As a consequence, it was widely used in regular communication between service members to signal that things were fine. I sometime find myself doing it out of habit, and I suppose others do too. -- Christian Huitema
