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."

So the BC is in the business of not hurting feelings? What's next, removing INF & CAB badges cause the poor little private didn't get shot at? Removing ribbons and awards from the service uniform since the poor little privates feel bad since they don't have very many? We are not a social experiment, let's stop worrying about their feelings and start teaching them about life, and earning what you have. The enemies of our country don't care about their feelings.
