Analogue Combat Service Badges: The CMB and CAB
The U.S. Army also recognizes the combat service of medics with the Combat Medical Badge, awarded to medical personnel who usually serve alongside infantry units, and the Combat Action Badge, awarded to combat arms other than Infantry (Armor, Cavalry, Field Artillery), combat support (CSC) and combat service support (CSS) soldiers who serve in combat in contemporary wars without delineated front lines. This last badge, the CAB, was created in 2005 for soldiers who, otherwise, qualify for neither the CIB nor the CMB.

—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“The more the specific feelings of being under obligation range themselves under a supreme principle of human dependence the clearer and more fertile will be the realization of the concept, indispensable to all true culture, of service; from the service of God down to the simple social relationship as between employer and employee.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Pockets: What color is a giraffe?
Dallas: Well, mostly yellow.
Pockets: And what’s the color of a New York taxi cab?
Dallas: Mostly yellow.
Pockets: I drove a cab in Brooklyn. I just pretend it’s rush hour in Flatbush and in I go.”
—Leigh Brackett (1915–1978)
