RE: Vietnam War (60s-70s). American Airborne Rangers made popular putting a playing card in their helmet liner band, signifying various attributes to the wearer.
Popularized by tv/movies of that era, Ace of spades was considered the death card (either the wearer was a dealer of death or marked for death).
Additionally cards from the Spades suit were often associated with death or application thereof to others.
