I've seen the same type of badge with crossed sabers behind a tank signifying Armored Cav. I don't think that's a real badge either but I'm not an Armor guy so I wouldn't know. I understand the "Combat Action Badge" carries a bayonet and wreath. I've never seen a badge with an M4 on it.
If the guy was not in uniform, let it go.
