Immortan Joe had less swag on his armor than these guys! Do they worry that they'll get too many and not be able to wear them all, and disrespect Dear Leader?

In North Korea, it is tradition to wear your father's and grandfather's honors in addition to your own. This means someone whose familty has had a long military tradition would accumulate quite the display.

In fairness, that's the same thing I've heard since the mid 2000s. So if it's bullshit, it's long-running bullshit. Like the eating spiders in your sleep thing

Why do they all look like stroke victims??

Also, what are the medals for? Least credible answer gets a prize

North Korean medals are for years of service without being sent to labor camps by dear leader. They’re like Xbox achievements and get progressively harder as time goes on.

This is false, generals are raised on Kim's breast milk, which turns into cheese upon leaving his glorious nipple.

I'm sorry, I forgot about the Dear Leader's nipple cheese

The north Koreans are so poor all the medals are probably steel.

Is it tradition to create medals that look like a child designed and stamped them out?

If we took away the officers we would at least give the soldiers a fighting chance, under equipped and trained as they doubtless are.
