<p>I am sure many folks on this page are also on FB. And if you are on FB you have probably seen US Army WTF Moments. If you have seen this page you have probably seen a new trend of Guideon & Colors thievery.</p><p><br></p><p>So I ask, what do you think of this? </p><p><br></p><p>Is it in good fun or is it stealing? <br><br></p><p>What would you do if you caught someone trying to steal your colors?</p><p><br></p><p>What would you do if your colors were actually stolen?</p><p><br></p><p>What would you do if you find one of your Soldiers stole someone else's colors?</p><p><br></p><p>Personally I take this action as theft, and if I caught someone stealing my Guideon or Colors; or found someone who had successfully stolen the same; I would call the PMO and press charges to the fullest extent. Thieves have no place in this Army. </p><p><br></p><p>And I know; there is only one thief in the Army, everyone else is just trying to get their stuff back.</p><p><br></p>

SECURING another unit's guidon so that nothing bad happens to it is perfectly fine as long as nothing immoral or asinine happens to it while being secured...the symbol of a unit should not be left unattended or secured lest it grow legs and walk away..imho!

This is nothing new and I look at it as almost tradition that begins in basic. "Protect this flag"! If you do not, you pay. I would not treat it as theft at all. If an individual or individuals are caught attempting to snatch it, they must be made an example. All in good fun that builds Esprit de corps. Of course it could get out of hand but, that's where leaders do their job and keep it "civil", if you will.
