“Troops sometimes wear themed morale patches, which may include humorous images and references unique to the unit.”

Not when I was in the Army!!!

Maybe painted on the side of an aircraft or a tank, etc., but on your uniform? Nope! There were specific rules about what was on your uniform, what HAD to be worn and THE ORDER it was to be displayed.

Someone made those patches and brought them aboard. It’s like the Navy didn’t learn a damn thing over “Mission Accomplished”.
