The US Army has gone native! Check out the shoulder patch for the fight against ISIS...

via USA Today...
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.
Scimitars and palm wreaths have appeared on patches from previous periods of war in Iraq. Saddam Hussein also favored the look, building a grand sculpture called the Arc of Triumph to commemorate the Iraq-Iran War in the 1980s. It became a favored back drop for soldiers, contractors and journalists to snap photos after the invasion in 2003.

Taking pics of yourself in exotic locations is one thing.  To slap an image of it on your shoulder is something entirely different.

What the fuck is the Army thinking?
