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."

Yeah when I was in the Army in the 80's Vietnam vets had combat patches, we didn't. We looked up to and worked to gain their respect. The way the world is now, these whiners will be deployed soon enough.

I remember once someone tried telling me to take off mine because of new kids. I told them no and showed them in the reg where it was my choice. I also told them if they really wanted to make the new kids not feel left out, than everyone with a Ranger tab needs to take that off as well.

It's the U.S. Army. Not the Salvation Army. Check your feelings at the door. I was also a Drill Sergeant. You wanna stop wearing that's as well? Why even have a any dress uniforms? Don't want anyone getting their feelings hurt while wearing that uniform to events. WTH?

What are they whining about. I never claimed about not having a patch I always picked the brains of those folks in case I had to go. Then when I served my time and earned mine I understood them and passed my wisdom down to the new troops
