I'll leave the same response here that I left on COL Jean (John) F. B. thread on this same subject, " I'm not against recognition through patches but I don't like this patch. I have a lot of thoughts at once. The symbolism on it is too reminiscent of symbolism in the area that stands for what we're trying to extinguish. Honestly I think it looks in particular like an Iraqi artist's work. It looks like something from Saddam's reign."

CPT (Join to see) i actually kind of like it.
Looks like something that might be worn by the palace guards of some Middle Eastern potentate in a comic opera. I expect it to be tattooed on their bare arms and chests. Does it come with a turban?
