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.

No Unit patches help with unit pride and es pi decor and have been along history in the Army. I wish this younger bunch would quite trying to change our history. Tradition is good and plays a vital roll in organizations.

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.
