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."

This is ridiculous. You got some soldiers making excuses to get out of deployment and now you got soldiers with hurt feelings so now we got to cater to their feelings.

Every new soldier I have had always cries about something why don’t I have that or what not next thing you know the will cry about pay. Combat patches are earn with your duty spent overseas in combat and in support of combat

They should quit their whining.
Those who have them have earned them and are entitled to wear them for life.
If the newbies can stay in long enough they can earn them as well

Sorry E-1 and E-2 don’t deserve a patch unless they get deployed. As you advance in rank you will get the patche which is privelege you earn. Boo hoo if they get their feelings hurt. It’s time for them to grow up.
