Basically, there are some patches with indian heads on them like you had in pro-sports.

Not me. I was in the military for 8 years and never gave those emblems a second thought never mind get "triggered" by them.

How's about you ?

Well once they go through all their emblems, patches and mottos and remove them you'll see the list.

They changed some wording in their song last year because it wasn't inclusive.
Song last from 1939 until May 2020 before someone got "triggered".

And nothing left worth fighting for in any case.
All of this pearl clutching over asking for removal of offensive mottos and emblems? I think we as a country have a lot bigger problems to be concerned with at the moment.

How's about you ?
Never thought about it, but if it bothers somebody, I'm all for doing away with it. No biggie. It's not like people are having to go to combat naked or anything. Geez.

If you never gave those emblems a second thought, they have zero significance or importance to you. That’s good. Any or all of them can be removed or changed if they do bother others without effecting you at all. Problem solved!

Right, so then why are we troubling ourselves with with this "offensive symbol" purge in the military when it hasn't heretofore seemed to cause any problems? Why is your issue with those pushing back against the agitators rather than with the agitators themselves?
