Well, then. They should also take off their rank so that the lower enlisted doesn’t feel bad... /s

I received my commission in May 1991, after Desert Storm had wrapped up, and when I took over my platoon at Ft. Riley a few months later, I was the only one in the platoon not wearing a combat patch. The way I looked at it, I had a wealth of experience to draw upon and learn from. It forced me to prove myself to my troops and in the end, it made me a better soldier and a better officer.

Next, they’ll be told to remove the American flag!

Soldiers are told to strip their uniforms bare to the bone, only showing the name, rank, American Flag, U.S. Army tape and the 4th Infantry Division insignia, the Army Times is reporting.

Rank? That seems awfully hierarchical , meritocratic and discriminatory. All the precious little millennial snowflakes will feel sad. Maybe just pick one rank like corporal for everyone to have.

U.S. Army Afghan war veteran Stephen Carroll:

“I think it’s an absolutely horrid idea

There is something really wrong with this statement. Who in the US says "horrid"? (OK maybe a gay person). Still, something smells.

"...The only thing that can kill Barnes...is Barnes!..."

Lieutenant Wolfe was wise to leave the day-to-day tactics to Sergeant Elias and Sergeant Barnes.

This sounds like something Samantha Powers would dream up.
One of his fake ‘Czars’ who has never been in the military, and never wished to be. They don’t get it. Naturally, Obama listens to them vs the actual military.

Simply carrying out egalitarianism to its logical conclusion; i.e. absolutely no indicia of distinction. All will feel the same. In addition this order is to destroy military traditions. Yet another instance of the "transformation" of America. All that once was shall never be.

First they give Ranger Berets to everyone.
Then they make everyone share a foxhole with a homosexual
then with a girl,
then with a tranny.

Why don’t they just issue white surrender flags and a basket full of poseys for them to hand out to the enemies of the nation?

Can’t have some military members doing better than others? Just like present-day public education? Makes fools of everybody. But isn’t that the goal of this administration?
