NO! He should be forced to wear pink pajamas with all visible hair removed, eyebrows, eyelashes facial and head hair etc. Did I miss anything?

I wore the 25th ID Tropic Lightning patch/insignia for a few years (including OIF) and it means a lot to me -- he should take it off, he doesn't deserve to wear it

SGT Francis Wright the circumstances that he attained his status was not honorable and a travesty to the award itself, just my opinion.

Since he was a deserter and did not serve honorablily. the Private who was not eligible for automatic promotions. should not have any combat stripes or be authorized to wear the CIB .

Did they change AR 670-1 for a Combat Unit Patch on right sleeve?
