The US Army has debuted a new shoulder patch that soldiers in Iraq can wear to represent their role in the ongoing fight against ISIS, USA Today reports.
The patch features crossed scimitars, three stars, and a palm wreath. According to USA Today, the three stars denote the US land, air, and sea forces involved in the fight against ISIS.
The palm wreath is meant to symbolize honor, while the crossed swords evoke the twin goals of the ongoing operations: the defeat of ISIS and the restoration of stability in the region.
Currently, there are over 3,000 US Army personnel deployed in Iraq. These soldiers have not been deployed in combat roles; instead, they provide training to the Iraqi Security Forces and help coordinate air strikes against ISIS positions.

That is an Islamic symbol barely disguised.
It should be the Crusader’s shield.
Ping.
maybe they call all get a quds ied qualification badge, too.
Onion originated?
I really hope this a joke
Right you are. Those are not the traditional swords of Western civilization. They are scimitars, the swords of islam.
“Onion Originated?”
What do you think?

I’d have preferred a portrait of Vlad Tepes, myself.
Nachum doesn’t joke around about things like this.
This is a slap in the face.
Thank you for posting this shameful display brought to the military by our President of United States.

I’m afraid to look
Bathhouse Boy Sec of Army does this crap, on VJ’s orders.
When the wannabees come home wearing these patches on their right shoulders, and start some shit: Patriots with legitimate combat patches will meet them.
That is unless the Russians don’t do them first.
I can imagine the derision with which long-service Russian soldiers see this.
Ooohh!
Worse than I thought!
Want to see how fast the administration will freak out and demand a redesign?
Three stars representing the Triune God...
Palm leaves, representing those used to lay before Jesus as he rode triumphantly into Jerusalem on the borrowed white colt, King of the Jews.
Spread that around and Obama will outlaw it with an EO.
I call BS. This is an Islamic themed patch. Where is anything even remotely American about this? No way was this approved by SecArmy. - oh, wait - isn’t the new Army Secretary an out and open, public homosexual handpicked by the gay president, Barack Obama?
