Qual badges, insignia, etc. help define the soldier. Soldiers define themselves by saying "see this? I served in Bosnia. see this? I'm Para qualified. see this? I took a Pathfinder course." Like Mike said, it took sweat and blood and tremendous toil to mold themselves into the people they are today; people who earned those badges. To see other people with these, unearned, can really hit them almost like identity theft.
