"The letter also discusses changes to the Combat Infantryman Badge and the Combat Medic Badge."
First the berets, then a Combat Action Badge that sounds like it was designed by the Italian milita, and now they are gonna muck around with CIBs and CMBs!?
The CIB was designed, in part, to honor a traditional connection with every American combat infantryman since the Colonial era. And the CMB was, in part, a grassroots effort by WWII combat infantry to recognize the special roles that combat medics, God Bless 'em, play.
Just damn!
