They are using Military symbols for fashion.
The Issue
Our Military Soldiers have earned these symbols in different ways, like spending weeks of hell at Boot Camp, or going through intense training to have the Honor of being a Ranger. Many have given their lives for these symbols and many will keep fighting for it. Why should a teenager be able to go into a random store and buy it for $10.00??
