Is it ok for civilians to wear military-like patches on non-uniform clothing (i.e. shirts, jackets, etc.)?

Question

I just bought a button-up camo shirt from a store in the mall, but it has an obvious sergeant insignia patch on the sleeve (but sewn upside-down). It s obviously not military clothes. I simply like military-camo style clothing, but since I respect our veterans, I don t want to offend them or anything by keeping the patch.

And opinions on other patches in general? (not including rank, name, unit etc since I know you should take those off)
Thanks!

Answer 1

As long as you are not trying to impersonate a member of the military, especially an officer, it's OK. If you want to respect the VETs, don't wear it at veteran functions. Don't wear it on military bases.

Answer 2

If it was a problem then it wouldn't be available for you to buy especially at a store. It's just a patch

Answer 3

It's a free country wear what you want.

Answer 4

Tf it's a shirt obviously it's fine dumb a$$

Answer 5

no one cares what civilians do
