No dog in this fight but I'll give my opinion anyway :P

I understand my Army counterparts in the Infantry hold the Combat Infantry Badge in the highest of regard and well they should, it has a proud history and that should be maintained. I don't see this new CCB as a badge on par with the CIB.

However in light of the current conflicts maybe there is a need for another badge within the army. I don't know. I tend to like the Marine Corps/Navy Combat Action Ribbon concept.

And I really don't like the design.......U G L Y.
