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

If want one go earn it. Nothing is free quit crying!!

While at it; let’s remove rank, position/ title, and all awards, at least all rank, positions and awards I don’t have because seeing anything I don’t have or have to aspire to might cause a micro-aggression. :/

Absolutely not !!

Hell no!! I EARNED mine.

There are a lot of patches being worn out there some incorrectly some unearned that goes for rank as well I personally know of a MSG that is assigned to the 580 Divison at FT Riley KS that should be busted to private and dd out of the service because he is a nothing but kissed his way to the top on the lives of his men.

No they are earned in most cases others don't deserve them they have to have been there to get them Or they are stolen valor and Man there is a lot of that Today.

Seriously? This reminds me of when I returned from my Iraq tour, with a BSM. The first awards dinner I attended with my mess dress on, and that little bitty ribbon on there, it was obvious a lot of folks in the room had winky envy. Give me a break. If you are so butt hurt about this, you may need to look for another line of work where everybody gets a "participation trophy."

No.

Never

This sounds like Canada where they can't give a zero to students who don't do their homework and where everybody gets a trophy not the ones that do the best.....PFC Manning crybaby types that got by basic training by scared Cadre during the Surge of a decade ago instead of being sent home with an Honorable Discharge as medically/ emotionally unfit to serve LOL.
