North Korea medal freaks

That is some heavy duty hardware for a country that hasn't had any active combat for 50 years, outside of the occasional border skirmish.

It looks like the admiral in the middle sunk the entire Pacific Fleet single-handed

I think that this picture is not about soldiers wearing their medals but collectors holding a contest who has the most medals

The navy officer in the center is not a admiral,he is a lieutent colonel or colonel.

I would like to join one of the militaria collector contest if there is one like that.

naval officer

The naval officer is a Captain-Second Rank, if the North Koreans followed the Soviet rank system.

Looks as if the medals are just for getting out of bed each day
