I went to Trader Joe’s last night and saw an Asian lady with a Japanese flag patch on her arm in a military uniform. I live near an army base and have not seen that before- or never noticed

Then I just happened to see this tweet this morning from a long distance away from where I live- Is this normal?

I can’t find anything new as far as news regarding this “coincidence“
