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."

LOL! The military is a meritocracy, not a self-esteem kindergarten. You want a tab or a patch or a ribbon or a rank? Earn them.

So to not hurt snowflakes everyone should have a minimum medal rack of 18 ribbons? WTH- combat patches are earned, it is a rite of passage, let the kiddies look, and realize that when a combat vet says something, it 1. might be important and 2. It might save their lives.

I’m an E-1 and I know those are earned you can’t just get one you actually have to be deployed, that to me makes no sense that they are being hurt by not having a combat patch, they will just have to wait till the next deployment
