What would your opinion be on extending morale patches to the OCP Uniform?

Currently under the AFI USAF members who are authorized to wear morale patches with their flight suits. With the OCP uniform like the flight suits having Velcro, making it extremely easy to change out patches, what would be your thoughts on extending the ability to wear morale patches on the OCP uniform? This is merely a hypothetical question and I know the policy isn't likely to change in the near future. Just doesn't make sense to me on why only the flyers get morale patches.

Just accept the fact that not all jobs in the military really warrant morale patches in the first place. Example: cooks wearing "kill 'em all" tabs. Or an S1 clerk with a Punisher skull. Or a finance soldier rocking a claymore patch on an operator ball cap. In the words of Captain America: "Son, just don't"

To quote Tommy Lee Jones from "Under Siege", "This is not the work of a cook." Maybe the cook wearing a "kill 'em all" patch refers to the Soldiers he / she is serving food to?

IMO, it should not happen. It would be distasteful and have an extreme unprofessional look.
I'm really not a fan of this at all. Some organizations make poor decisions and their patches may not reflect well. I have seen soldiers wear individual morel patches with symbols that would offend the locals or something stupid that sexual. My battalion does have a unofficial patch but it is never worn on a uniform. The symbol of the patch was used in world war II for the Battalion.
