\"Valor<\/a>
\nWell it seems that the people over at Urban Outfitters <\/a>have decided that it would be trendy to added military patches and ranks to their clothing lines. Units such as the Third Ranger Battalion and the Army EOD patch are such the rage these days. I mean why actually serve in the military and have to deal with military life when you can look like you did<\/a> for a low price of $85 dollars<\/a>? <\/p>\n

Our friends at Guardians of Valor<\/a> are one of the first people to report this and are actively encouraging Veterans to write to the company to have these clothing items pulled<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Guess what Urban Outfitter\u2019s this is NOT a fashion accessory, to include all the other patches you have adorned your clothing with. These insignia are not worn as fashion, Soldiers have died while wearing these patches and scrolls!!!<\/p>\n

I am sure some will say \u201cno big deal\u201d, but I beg to differ! It is opening the door for posers to claim this crap. Oh you have a Ranger Scroll on your vest, must be a Ranger!! So don\u2019t tell us it won\u2019t hurt anyone, or someone wont get scammed, because it will happen eventually! Not to mention it is degrading the Scroll and the other patches!<\/p>\n

We do ask if you contact them, or post on their FB page<\/a>, keep it polite and professional! We have emailed them and explained our point of view, and why it should not be sold as some accessory.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I will post new updates to this story when we get a reply. <\/p>\n

UPDATE:It looks like the item(s) in question will be removed from their clothing line. <\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for your comments and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It is never Urban Outfitters\u2019 intention to offend our customers. We respect the military and value our nation\u2019s veterans and those in active duty. Although the use of military insignias is common practice within fashion industry trends, we understand your concerns and will remove the Standard Cloth Patches Blue Vest from our website.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
