Why do service members feel the need to put their ERB on the back windows of their POV's? The more I pay attention to the cars around post, its as if everyone wants to display their ERB, i.e. Combat veteran, CAB,CIB,Ranger tab?

Military stickers/decals on your car. When is it too much?

Today at a well known base and home of the majority of the Army's paratroopers; I was walking through a parking lot and was amazed. Some have all of their personnel file on their back window. I understand some pride like a Ranger tab or wings but when you add every crest of every unit you have been in within the last ten years it may be a bit much. I have a national guard license plate especially since I found out it is cheaper than a regular license plate. The worst I have seen is the rank on the windshield. I can understand generals or maybe even field grades but not a Sgt.

What have you seen, whether it be bad or good? Or maybe I'm wrong and the sticker of the army service ribbon and the National Defence medal is worth showing everyone you drive by.
