It infuriates me when you see Westerners laughing at pictures of Soviet, DPRK, and other soldiers that wear the whole medal and implying that most of them are vanity awards and participation trophies. Meanwhile American troops wear stacks of participation trophies and "congrats on not getting 5 DUIs" medals, but they only show a slice of ribbon so it's classy and badass. Some dude played soldier for 30 years ends up looking like he fought from Moscow to Berlin singlehandedly
Most of the DPRK soldiers with a ton of medals are usually old so they likely experienced the the Korean War. These days you see any 40-50 year old with a chest full of medals walking around Dairy Queen asking for a veteran discount
