Never seen that photo before. Are these the “baby killers” we heard the leftists like Kerry screaming about?

Either that, or they are looking for the sergeant’s dropped contact lens. Good luck with that, guys.

The patch worn on the left shoulder indicates the current unit of assignment. Any patch worn on the right shoulder indicates “former wartime service,” colloquially referred to as the “combat patch.”
