Why don't officers wear marksmanship badges?

Then let's explain all the Airborne Wings on those who have no intention of every being in a true airborne unit, all the Ranger tabs on those who will never be in a Ranger unit, all the Bronze Stars (with snowflake device for having never left air conditioning) awarded for battalion staff positions, ...shall I go on?

You can go on all you would like Chief my answer will stay the same. In the Amry your ORB tells your story. In some units you having a tab makes you in the "in" crowd. It doesn't make you a better leader. Having Hooah badges that you don't use is a waste of the army's time and a waste of that individuals time.

Unless it does make you a more technically proficient leader in your position such as air assault or pathfinder.

I believe that actually was my point. The trouble is the recent examples for today's officers. I haven't seen a general with less than eight rows of ribbons and numerous shiny badges. I also once saw a General wearing sixteen stars: four on each collar, four on his helmet, and four down the front of his armored vest. Yup, got it: You're a General. In contrast, there is a portrait of Eisenhower painted after D-Day, the Victory in Europe, and a stint as Army Chief of Staff wearing two rows of ribbons. One has to look carefully to see the circle of five stars on his shoulder. Seems as if the volume of festoons is in inverse proportion to wars actually won.

Got rid of the mustache for two reasons; one the interpretation of the reg changed where the definition of 'corner of the mouth' changed so we all looked like Hitler, and as a CWO, it was not worth the hassle keeping up with, had to many other fish to fry.
