Are non military morale patches okay for low speed dudes like me?
It started with a storm trooper holding an AK that I got from Khyber Customs. Then I got a boog related one. Then a free sb tactical one. I figure pistol braces are pretty obviously non-military. Now I want something Mandalorian related because I love that shit. I have them on my range/EDC backpack, and on a gun case. Fun way to identify fellow gun nuts and star wars nerds? Didn't really think about it until I was in the airport surrounded by military guys on Thanksgiving. Well? |

Don't wear anything on serious gear you don't want to see a prosecutor wave around in a courtroom.

Anyone who would be offended by that is a tool. If you like em enjoy em.

I laugh at military guys with “morale patches.”
I thought that was just a civilian thing. |

Just do what you like and enjoy. Problem solved, problem staying solved. If you look long enough you’ll find someone to shit on your enjoyment of your morale patches. Who cares? I did some shooting this morning with my AR and wore my plate carrier. Had a good time. I’m sure someone thought I was a douche and/or a loser. Don’t care.

Own them all if you want. Who cares what other people think.

They're just stickers with velcro on them. Any soldier that gets mad at you for wearing a sticker with velcro on it can blow.
Not every service member's opinion has to be respected. There are a lot of commie cucks in the military now. |

No one's business and if you like it do it, no one mature will give a damn what you do. |

Quoted: Why do you care what's ok with someone else? View Quote Didn't want to be accused of the stolen valor thingy. I mostly dgaf Whoever accused me of Mandalorian stolen valor, excuse me but i've never taken my helmet off. Shoving hamburgers in my mouth under the helmet is tricky, but doable. |

I like them. Usually some form of US flag in front of the hat and some more comical or dark patch on the back of the hat

You do not need anyone's permission to wear your moral patches.
This is ( or was) a free country and it must remain that way. Do your own thing, whatever makes YOU happy. Live a good life. |

View Quote Usually I'll throw one on a backpack, and occasionally someone will catch me on the street, and say "oh hey I know where that's from, that's cool!" or whatever, and we get to talking about related interests. Making friends and having fun, pretty wholesome in my book. |
