  I’ve never been sure which is funnier, all the medals or the enormous hats.

    To me it’s the fact they all look like children trying to feel like big boys in their dad’s too-large clothes (which is fitting (pun intended) since at least those medals are inherited, not for things they themselves have done)

      There’s a culture of being expected to wear any medals your father or grandfather earned. When you think about the kind of basic medals even western militaries give out, such as good conduct, long service, etc, three generations of those adds up quickly.

      The DPRK also just really loves medals. It’s not just limited to the military, they have medals for distinguished service as a factory worker or construction worker. They will even give long service medals to inanimate objects like industrial machinery.

    I think we should support men trying to be pretty. Otherwise we end up with nothing but boring grey clothes.

    Also their oversized jackets. They look like children dressing up in grownups clothes.

    Do the medals mean anything? I did the military thing and have some medals and ribbons, and they each have specific meaning. Anyone can look at a picture and go to a wikipedia article and basically see when I served, what I did, etc. Are these just decoration? The US military is pretty active (unfortunately). I don’t exactly see North Korea getting out there and fighting wars in the same fashion, so as to warrant such well decorated members.

  Those are participation awards, in essence. They get them for attending ceremonies and the like, of course, they have no choice but to attend.

    North Korean officers can wear the medals of their family members. Most of those would have been given to people who fought during the Korean war.

  Couldn’t be me, I want my boys, and others, to actually learn. No half measures, no hand holding.
