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

Butter cup I understand how you feel and others have felt the same way put boots on ground and earn it.

Don't worry little baby. You will have plenty of opportunities to earn one soon enough if you step out of your pity party diaper and give respect where respect is due. Look to those who wear that patch and listen to the advice of those you see are the most respected by their peers. Those are the soldiers who will keep you alive if you learn from them before your turn comes.

Welcome to the echo chamber. We're all going to have the same opinion so why the fake outrage as everyone pretends to take this seriously?

We are sensitive enough as it is. They will jave their chance to do something over seas until it happens suck it up slick sleeve. Am I going to not get to wear my awards, tabs, or badges because they dont have them?

I earned mine so whoever wants one, they can earn it too or do I have to give up my Air Assault wings too? Lotflmao.

Army has became nothing but damn cry babies! Privates are a bunch of sensitive pogos! What has the Army changed into! Every soldier has earned whatever they get! So stop being so damn sensitive to the needs of soldiers that haven’t proof themselves yet! Trust me, they’ll a get chance at some point or anther. GODDAMN CRY BABIES!!!

I think that's stupid. Get over it you have to earn the patch it's not just given or at least I don't think it is.

They have just arrived to the unit,combat patches are exactly what they are called, you earned it when you went into combat with the unit. They are not handed out as a gift because you koi ed a unit. Tell the Privates to get over it

Seriously butt in the military grow up and move on when you get deployed you'll earn one

Every one who joins knows u gotta earn your stripes so to speak . I'm sorry but u gotta go to combat to get a combat patch if these new recruits get butthurt cause they don't have one oh well

No I earned mine in 69/70

If this has actually happen some where, tell 'em to fuck off!

Hell no, someone smack the crap out of PVT Snivel

What the f%$ck is going on in the military. I am retired, thank God. Let those nee guys go to combat, just like every other soldier did to earn their combat patch. The army is not in the business of being sensitive, and not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings. The army is in the business of war and defending the nation period. WTF.

Fuck that my unit and myself earned our combat patch through blood sweat and tear in Iraq it’s tradition in the army to have one once you deploy to take it away is gonna affect the soldiers who’ve earned the right to wear a combat patch more than the privates who feel “Left out for not having one” to then we say suck it up do your job do as you told And one day you may have the honor and privilege or serving your country in a combat environment and EARNING your own combat patch -Spc 101st Airborne Divit

I been in for 7 months and i can say the "new" army is soft

I think they should go away for a different reason. I Don't think soldiers need to walk around wearing their resume on their service uniform. Save that "bling" for the dress uniform.

Are you fucking kidding me? The “New Army” is to fucking soft. Why do people think to soften the military to have more people join then making the recruits just suck it up? I wouldn’t want to have one of them as my battle while being in a firefight.

Push till your patches appear. Maybe old boots should be toossed as well because they have more lies than the same newly enlisted.

No
