Some of them are funny, maybe to decorate a plain bag. Not to wear on though, kinda pretentious.

Sorry about that. I'll never have an opinion again since I did say "all morale patches must go"

I have one on a hat that is a pile of shit and a magnet. Because as my friends have pointed out, I have the amazing ability to have things go completely to shit just by being there.
I'm also the only person my friends know that has successfully broken an SKS (literally had the safety snap off in my hands), an AK (sheared the ejector off), and a Glock (1 1/2 inch long crack in the frame.) Yep, I could probably break an anvil.
ETA: I also work part time at a gunsmith shop and the Master Gunsmith makes it a point to give me anything he's fixed. I try it out and if it still works after I'm done with it, it should be good enough for the customer.

I don't wear them. I assume people wearing them at the range might have some type of military connection.

I can honestly say that the pressing question of why people wear these patches has completely escaped my attention until now.
I will endeavor to devote more time and attention to solving this dilemma. |

Some of them are pretty funny and a single patch isn't so bad.
I'm a firm believer that you can use the pouch:patch ratio on someone's gear to determine their level of douchebaggery/poserism. I've never known of a guy who had as many patches as pouches that wasn't a complete dickhead. |

I have some, mostly from companies I like such as LaRue, Knight's Armament, etc. I guess it's just like wearing a t-shirt of a band or tv show for me. If you have a problem with that, you need to lighten the fuck up.

I have some, but most are ironic, eluding to the fact that I'm just a nasty civilian. They need to make one that says something like, "I wish I was a veteran" or "SEAL-in-training"

I've been given a few- the only ones I like to wear are Cola Warrior associated, as it represents something I have actually done, and a Mississippi state flag.
I also have an IR name tape as I move around with NODs and am in a lot of videos. To each their own though, and moral patches on clean gear in pic threads tells me something about the poster

Morale patches are a way of saying "fuck you" or "fuck this" without having to actually having to say "fuck you" or "fuck this". Energy-saving device.
