And if the sword in the Muslim Brotherhood symbol looks familiar, it should. It's a Mamaluke, and has been worn by USMC officers since 1825.

The United States Army has created a new patch for soldiers who are fighting ISIS in Iraq.
USA Today reports that “the Army's patch features crossed scimitars, a palm wreath and stars. The scimitars, short swords with curved blades, are meant to symbolize the twin goals of the U.S.-led coalition: to defeat the Islamic State, also referred to as ISIL, and to restore stability in the region, according to Army documents. The palm wreath is symbol of honor. While the stars and the buff-and-blue colors on the patch indicate the three-star command and the land, air and sea forces involved in the fight.”
Sure. Whatever.
AT readers, you be the judge. As featured at Atlas Shrugs, here is an image of the new patch on the right, next to an image of a Muslim Brotherhood symbol on the left.

Ready for COnversion. Now everyone all together recite Shahada.

I want to know who okayed that design
maybe true
I do know he is a dedicated communist
He is the islamofascists “butt-boy”. That IS something he knows quite a bit about. And Putin has his number— has had it for a long time.
Except that that is specifically written to the Jews and the nation of Israel
Yes, Putin has his number and officially humiliated him publicly today by demanding he remove our presence in Syria. I wonder if The One phoned in to give his allegiance or submission?
And if the sword in the Muslim Brotherhood symbol looks familiar, it should. It's a Mamaluke, and has been worn by USMC officers since 1825.
Hilt is the part that goes in your hand. The guard keeps you from cutting off your fingers when you stab rather than slash.
You can call them quillions if you want.
And by the way, that fourth image of the sergeant’s strips isn’t off of any American uniform I’ve ever seen
I am wondering about the authenticity of this patch. If it is a local area creation instead of being an official US Army shoulder insignia? Here is The Institute of Heraldry’s website showing all of the patches it has created for the US DoD and civilian organziations under contract in the last six months. These two patches are not shown here:

In their article about the new patch with the all green background, USA Today article uses the new patch graphic, but their description of the new patch is the patch you posted.
“buff and blue”

The rational for the new design is explained at the link in post 32.

The article explains the rational, but we can’t excerpt from USA Today, so I provided the link.

As the election nears, I’m we will see his ambitions of ruining our country, increase. We’ve seen, so far, he will not be stopped by our elected and the military he’s placed in the pentagon.
I called the Army’s Institute of Heraldry and they confirmed that the patch shown in post #10 is an authorized US Army Patch that was created by a member of Operation Inherent Resolved and sent to TIOH, where it was approved for US Army units ONLY. the patch shown in post #13, with the surrounding words is NOT an official patch according to TIOH
Hey, it saves on having to change them when the leftists give the country to the enemy.
Some rational by the Army!...NOT !!!
