Even though I did serve, I have no right to wear a Ranger patch, that is not where my contribution to the services was at. By the same token I can wear my Dolphins with pride, and it signals me out to my fellow bubble heads. This happened just yesterday at the Golden Gun Club where a guy was wearing a hat displaying Dolphins. I struck up a conversation with him and within seconds we both knew where we stood. If he had given BS responses it would have pissed me off..... He would not have earned them.
Very much agree. I was a REMF for sure, but I did serve with the 1st ID and it pisses me off to see douchenozzle punks wearing the Big Red One for fashion.
