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

The military is breeding too many self entitled members. They need to crack down on this problem very quickly. EARN EVERY PART OF YOUR UNIFORM!!!!!!!! EARN IT!!!!!!

Yes wear the patch with pride. The soldier earned it. My last years in the Army were in a command. I was surprised at how many colonels did not have a combat patch. I had a choice of three. If you want one earn it! Plenty of opportunity.

In the Armored way Fuck no. Let dumbass earn his own patch so he can be proud of his own someday.

No, Hell NO, That is earned as is most or your skills in the military. Even this old VN vet wears his on Veterans Day.

When my son made the freshman baseball team he earned his school jacket. As he advanced through to his senior year he acquire several awards that were placed on that jacket. His...he earned it, no one else. The same applies with our military uniform. My uniform is a history of my 21 years in the Army. I am proud of my service.

By this logic, the combat medic would not be able to wear the combat part, the combat infantryman would not be able to wear the combat part, none of the medals would be able to be worn or hell, We wouldn’t be able to wear the drill seargent tab, the air assault tab, the airborne tab respectfully...I could go further. Look, I understand all this sensitivity crap, but come on, really. I’m done.

Absolutely not, we don’t have combat patches in the navy but instead we have warfare devices (pins worn on our chest like jump wings for army) and warfare devices for us signify what type of duty that sailor has experienced. When junior enlisted look at our devices they don’t get butt hurt like junior enlisted army apparently does, they think “damn I want that! What do I have to do to get that!” Unbelievable that the army is possibly softer than the navy smh.

This falls under "Everyone gets a trophy!"

Sure. While we're at it let's remove ribbons, awards, ranks, heck. Let's remove pay grades. Don't want some getting their feelings hurt that someone else earned something they haven't yet.

No one should wear patches in sector or training except IR unit and Sop id patches. Unit and combat patches are Target Identifiers which can be used to track movements of OPFOR the same as bumper numbers on vehicles.
