NorK SnorTs
Nork's haven't fought a war in 60 years, yet look at those medals.
Kinda looks a lot like today's GIs. After the end of the Cold War, the gov't stopped handing out even the National Defense Service Medal. GIs were going for years without a ribbon to show on the left side of their uniform. So, at least for the Army, they started the I Graduated Basic Training ribbon, the I Went to NCO Academy ribbon, and started giving ribbons for overseas service (the Army even counted Hawaii as overseas), and other odd service ribbons. So, once hot wars started up, every PFC started to look like Curtis E. LeMay.
Two things: those medals are probably non-ferrous, so magnets might not do the trick, but if we wait for bad weather there's a good chance Mother Nature could take out the entire NoRK command structure with one well-placed lightening bolt.
Maybe someone could explain to them the financial possibilities arising from building an industry producing costume jewelry and body piercing studs, rings, etc.
Almost as many medals as your average American liberal journalist
ReplyDeleteC'mon, cut them some slack. Nork is a poor country, and beer can tops is the best they can do for body armor.

ReplyDeleteEach medal represents someone he ratted out for not laughing at the great leaders jokes.

I don't know what the guy on the left did to earn it, but it looks as though he has one on his zipper.

I just noticed: does the one on the left have a medal hanging from his crotch? Wonder what that one represents....
