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?

Good thing that I blow trans girls to get your approval to wear patches on my plate carrier.

I was going to wear the Silent Brigade patch either way.

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.

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.

But will it have the same effect being waved around by a prosecutor??

“What does this patch mean???”

I wasn't a pilot, or even permanent aircrew.

also, I only worked from aircraft carriers for like 0.000000001% of my time in service

and I was in the Army, not even the navy

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.

Better than skull n bones cringe.

They're like $4-$8 typically (I don't think I've ever paid more than $10 myself), with some being $10-$20, but at that point you're just paying a seller's premium, and yes, patch collecting is fun. You do realize most patch collectors aren't actually walking around with a vest covered in them every time they go to wal-mart, right?

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.
