Commissar Wrote:Kind of a stupid question, what is a "dembel patch?"

"Dembel" is short or "Demobilized soldier", i.e. one completing his enlistment. As the "dembel" wore his foppish uniform home, it was a sign of pride for having completed his enlistment and/or kept the courtesy patrols from harrassing him since he was now out of the military.
