I have called out a 1SG that was deployed with me when he was a SSG that wears the CAB that he didn't earn, I am a true believers that you wear what you have earned. I do realize a SF/SOCOM patch doesn't say much being worn on the right sleeve but right is right and wrong must be addressed.

It is as simple as Blue stated.
THID, obviously you have the ability find out if the guy earned the patch or not. More importantly I want to let you know it is individuals like you -concerning yourself with matters that don't effect a unit or individual's ability of being a warfighter - causing many squared away barrel chested freedom fighters to leave the military. You should re-focus your efforts to what is important in being a leader of troops(assumption).
After several trips in SF, never earned the right shoulder patch, I decided to get out of the military because too many leaders and decision makers concern themselves with diminutive matters which in turn effects moral and productivity of a unit. Essentially you are tightening the rope that is already tight enough with the complexities of current threats.
