    Why do all their jackets look three sizes too big?

    Obviously they need room for all the medals, but they could at least tailor them.

      All the good tailors were executed by firing squad for designing something Kim Il Sung would have considered gauche

    Fun fact: Those dudes actually have probably less medals than most western officers in same ranks, just the uniform regulations in DPRK require wearing all medals in their full form instead of ribbons while in dress uniforms.

      They can wear their parents and grandparents medals. Most of these were probably won during the Korean war.
