"(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."

I have a hard time believing a commander would do this for “inclusion”. Sounds like barracks rumors.

You gotta be kidding me. Fucking combat patches are eraned and if you want one join a combat unit and change your mos to infantry. The military is getting to fucking sensitive and cry babies need to fucking suck it up.its bad enough the have legs wearing black beret which belonged to rangers when i was in and to make them fell special. I earned my maroon beret . These things are supposed to be earned not given. Military is getting soft.

This is a prank question, right? Of course they should wear what they've earned. Combat is what we train for. It should motivate the junior enlisted to earn theirs.
P.S. Ssgt Post, the Air Force earns their combat patches just like everyone else. Now my feelings are hurt

Stop judging people without them(maybe I just don’t wear one on a normal day, I’ve got more combat patches than uniform tops)
