Should we remove combat patches to be sensitive to those who don't have them?

"(Unit Name withheld) BCT ordered to remove combat patches during training at Fort NoMatter so the ones without them don't get hurt feelings.
Reason? "The unit just returned from Afghanistan and almost everyone has a patch but the large influx of new soldiers are E1 and E2s that have never deployed and they are saying they are left out because they don't have a patch."

NO! Those patches were earned at the possible expense of their lives! You want one? Get your arse out there and earn it. My Dad and sons EARNED theirs and I will be damned if they do not deserve to wear them with pride! This has to be a BS question *shakes head*

Why are we worrying about feelings. When I came in I would look forward to talk with someone with a combat patch. WTF.
