I also found one that looks like a merit badge, but i don't think either of them are real. Shame.

It's strange, but I like this little badge...

Dunno why!

It's whimsical...

Both the Iraq and Afghanistan Kenny patches are real and can be bought online. They are part of a large group of pseudo military patches known as morale patches. They are popular with some military, supporters, some gun owners, etc. Look up morale patches, it is amazing how many there are. Some are quite clever, others unit specific pride oriented, some less comprehensible or even downright offensive.
