The Army is the only service to wear unit and combat patches? Should they simplify the uniform and remove unit patches? "shoulder sleeve insignia".
I understand in some uniforms services may wear a patch. I'm talking about the every day uniform.

The only patch that needs to go away is that stupid, GI-Joe looking, Army of One disaster.

If anything army should do away with unit patches for students who are attending basic in the IT. Though I completely disagree with doing away with patches altogether.

No. I was in the Air Force when we had patches. They were gone shortly after I retired, but they are coming back. It was always a point of pride, and should stay in both branches.

No. It's a lineage handed down and taken seriously and proudly. Quit screwing with the uniform.

Navy and Air Force aircrew wear unit patches, and the Air Force will return to wearing unit patches on their utility uniforms. Esprit de corps starts at the unit level.

No. Keep the patches. I'm Air Force and we are finally getting our squadron patches back. You miss them when they're gone.

They definitely must stay. A unit patch immediately identify a fellow solider and tells where he has been and with who. It is a connection that we all can relate to

No way! There is too much lineage with unit patches. That would make no sense.

No: When I was in the TN army guard I was proud of the patches on my uniform. (at one time in the navy we wore the name of the ship on our undress and dress uniforma. To me it a matter of pride. shows the world what unit you fight with.

Unit patches help soldiers in the field know where they are and who is in their AO. Having severed overseas I had the honor of seeing people from around the world. Unit cohesion and esprite de corp. I wore many patches and was proud to belong to each unit.
