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."

The dude said if he wanted feelings he should have joined the Air Force, he must be one of those lil pussies who joined Army or Marines especially Infantry because he got picked on in school and has a baby dick. It must suck to get out of the military and have no trade to rely on. " Hey sir please hire me as a McDonalds janitor cuz i ran towards bullets!" The biggest pussies in the world are Army and Marines, especially Infantry.....FACT!

Is the PC police invaded that Command? I also on the other side these combat patched individuals should be used as mentors to those less experienced. Maybe their experience will provide knowledge to others to survive the task when it occurs.

Well the Navy has just become non-offensive to the snowflake generation. If you see a sailor with gold hash marks, service stripes that means he or she had completed 12 years good conduct. Use ot mean a lot. A Chief Musician in DC complained that the gold made her feel less whatever so, now anyone with 12 years service gets to wear gold. Use to say, where gold because you never got caught. Also knew a Chief Bosnmate with eight red hash marks. He was proud for that accomplishment. Of course he was on a LST full of 105 shells during WW2. Too many patches and crap. Now ribbons for graduating boot camp. Had just two, good conduct and national defense until I went to Nam. Let it snow, let it snow, and you can wear the patches on your cammy of the year.
