Warrior badge, is it still being worn by any units? I found some in a desk at my work today. So I was wondering about this issue. And wasn't the pre-reqr for it was ELOC correct?

Yeah they got rid of it cause people looked bad with bronze. It made them feel two steps lower than people with gold, and you know we can't have that in the Army.. people striving to perform better than others.

Darn pathetic politically correct Army.....

Or some of the more..."seasoned" types that were wearing nice gold stuff on their tunic sleeves and a bronze Warrior badge with a CD standing by Cpl Bloggins for "Cmbt Arms Unit X" who had 3 tours, jump wings and a gold Warrior badge...

Yes, can't have less skilled people with proof now, can we?

What are you talking about....

I've seen senior staff wearing gold badges who appeared so out of shape there was no
way they could have even qualified for bronze.

That's what was discouraging to me.  Anyone could put on any colour of badge and there
was no way to check.

It was a "Boy Scout Pin" that lost a lot of it's value when the person who initiated it couldn't achieve a Gold, so he lowered the standards. 

As for Bronze, Silver and Gold.  The Bronze was just a "Tarnished" or "TI" Gold.    ;D

Lots of good points put forward already in the above posts for its' demise.  Was it not more of a 'NDP inspired/feel good/Boy Scout' type idea, than a really military relevant/inspired accoutrement?

face it, it`'s a vestive from our non-military military past
