Should Engineers have a Combat Engineer Badge?

To be honest, you guys are the only ones in the army that have your own buttons. Let not be too greedy here.

No, the CAB is bad enough already. &nbsp;The CIB only exists due to the need to raise the profile of the infantry during World War II. &nbsp;The same is true for the blue discs and a very short-lived attempt to change their title to "Fighter." &nbsp;Prior to the CAB, each of the combat arms branches had their own unofficial combat action badges that were not authorized for wear IAW AR 670-1.<br><br>The CAB was only created in place of a combat action ribbon after the fairness of the being worn in a combat uniform vs. the ribbon being dress only was questioned. &nbsp;I really wish we had never dreamed it up; it's become a new piece of window dressing for people to put their lives and others at risk unnecessarily so as to ensure promotion.<br><br>Note: I am not knocking on actual combat action badges or even combat accident badges. &nbsp;I am referring specifically to CAB hunters who went on repeat convoys until they got hit and hid behind their desks thereafter with a mission accomplished banner.

If this lack of recognition is so intolerable, just reenlist for the Infantry.<br>
