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

send them to get theirs

No.....you earned those combat patches and those who haven't had them should either deal with it because they weren't chosen to go on the deployment or assignment or be apart of the action. It's like me getting my EIDWS (Enlisted Information Dominance Warfare) pin and yet a FC (Fire Controlman) is upset he can't get it.

Why should we take away from the soldiets that have given so much to this country. If they want to wear the patch so badly, they should be volunteering to go get with a unit thst is deploying. I spent 03-04, 05-06, 07-09, 10-11 deployed in Iraq. All those years away from my family, wife, and kids only to be told that I can't wear it because PVT Snuffy feels bad. 1. We come from a different age group. 2. Wait your turn, you'll get a chance to deploy. And if you don't be the best that you can be and give it your all. And if you wanted to have that rush of getting shot at or blown up, apply for the bomb squad or SWAT team of your local law enforcement agency. It's not right to take away from those who have sacrificed so much.

Absolutely not!! If you're sensitive to this then your candy ass need not wear a soldiers uniform..

Tell them to grow up. Wait your turn long enough and you'll get one, but they shouldn't tell the soldiers with combat patches to remove them just because new soldiers want to be babies about not having them.

WTH?

I guess by that logic we need to tell the next MOH recipient we see not to wear it because it isn't inclusive.

Yep, this concept is still insane to me

Feeling left out?? Volunteer to go earn it. That's the problem with this generation...always whining because shit isn't handed to them. Trust me, Obama will give them a chance at that combat patch soon enough.

They earned the patch. The new guys should see them.
