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

No I earned mine in 69/70

If this has actually happen some where, tell 'em to fuck off!

Hell no, someone smack the crap out of PVT Snivel

What the f%$ck is going on in the military. I am retired, thank God. Let those nee guys go to combat, just like every other soldier did to earn their combat patch. The army is not in the business of being sensitive, and not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings. The army is in the business of war and defending the nation period. WTF.

Fuck that my unit and myself earned our combat patch through blood sweat and tear in Iraq it’s tradition in the army to have one once you deploy to take it away is gonna affect the soldiers who’ve earned the right to wear a combat patch more than the privates who feel “Left out for not having one” to then we say suck it up do your job do as you told And one day you may have the honor and privilege or serving your country in a combat environment and EARNING your own combat patch -Spc 101st Airborne Divit

I been in for 7 months and i can say the "new" army is soft

I think they should go away for a different reason. I Don't think soldiers need to walk around wearing their resume on their service uniform. Save that "bling" for the dress uniform.

Are you fucking kidding me? The “New Army” is to fucking soft. Why do people think to soften the military to have more people join then making the recruits just suck it up? I wouldn’t want to have one of them as my battle while being in a firefight.

Push till your patches appear. Maybe old boots should be toossed as well because they have more lies than the same newly enlisted.

No
