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.

Pretty messed up.
No idea why Western “campaign patches,” as if they are appropriate for a non-campaign, should present “scimitars” and other Koran-literati aesthetics.
I presume under Obama the Marxist Mombasan bath-house savior we must die for a very accepting rainbow Islam.
F. this situation. This is the end.
Obama likes it because it shows crossed swords.
Wait a minute. We’re actually going to fight ISIS?
Looks like a cross between a United Federation of Planets flag and Saddam’s victory swords.
.. it’s a nasty thought of where we are and what we should do. First step? Get rid of the fraud in the White House and all the POS who foisted him on us.
Once that alien divisive POS is out of there, the rest should follow pretty easily.
The core and root of the problem is that bitter black man who also happens to be a marist muslim.
the DoD’s Iraq idea of wearing a Canadian flag on your back pack during the 70’s in Europe (maybe they won’t notice we are Americans...).
Dumb. Just dumb.
Let us hope that in time Israel may turn out to be the savior of the western civilization and eradicate this plague by uniting each and every male with heir 72 virgins.
Active Duty ping.
Persian Army Flag
Islamic Jihadist Flag.
all that stuff about the VA is true , I know , we had to fight them for a family member
Uhhhh.... something stinks here.
muslim crossed swords for the muslim in chief
I am so sick of this
Who do you think designed this patch, an American?
Oh, sorry. It’s Obama’s pink panties Army now. Gotta get with the program. Sympathize with the enemy and betray our friends the Kurds.
I feel so sorry for our men and women who are doing the fighting because they are being betrayed by our Marxist/closet Moslem Traitor in Chief.
A goat and a sheep for the universal international signal for bisexuality!
Says this vet of the vietnam war era, son (and grandson, and great grandson) of WWII, and WWI, and Civil War Vets, and Dad of an iraq war Vet, and also Dad of one in currently uniform, also an iraq war Vet.

The only thing that patch is missing is the Shahada.
