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

This was the 101 airborne training at Ft. Knox, I served navy & I was not awarded a sea service ribbon & my ESWS the day I reported onboard ship, both earned! And btw not as prestigious as a combat patch either.

If you have a Combat Patch - May God continue to bless you and your Family And may God continue to Bless America..

Okay one Tradoc is stupid for ever listening to recruits, they not even f#@kin soldiers, crying about not having something they won't be able to earn until they one become soldiers, two go to combat like all the soldiers. I can't believe anyone was listening to recruits crying about not having combat patches, really tradoc. And lastly the bridge Commander of that unit that had to take the patches off he should of fought that and told tradoc to go somewhere and do something with their life.

This is freaking ridiculous!! Glad it's been corrected now.

No. Just explain to these young soldiers that they'll get theirs once they earn them. After my tour in Korea, I was assigned to Drum, everyone it seemed had a patch from Somalia. No biggy. It's like feeling left out because your buddies are airborne, and you've never been to airborne school. Lol, if you feel that strongly about it, put your 4187 in and go the F to airborne school a d earn them wings. Why is this hard to understand? Lol. I hope this is a joke!

Hey slick sleeves.......

GO TO WAR!!!!!!!!!

This is ignorant and this mentality will ruin the Army!

MSG

No way it was earned wear it with pride.

If you make everyone remove their combat parch where does it stop? Will the CIB/EIB or the CAB have to be taken off too? Not everyone has one. Or how about the gold and silver Spurs? No one should have remove something they gave earned.

To the 2% that voted yes to this WTH are YOU thinking!!! You have to EARN what you get and then show it off with pride!!
