Soldiers will fight long and hard for a bit of coloured ribbon - Happybadger, 2024

What gets me is that nothing about his ribbon rack is intimidating. He's trying to scream "look at the 20 year-old that can run a mile instead of the doughy 60 year-old in front of you" in the most painfully desperate way he can, but the most war-adjacent thing in his ribbons is the Combat Action Ribbon. That's a bog standard ribbon given to everyone on a ship that someone shoots at. His reservist ribbon shows 30 years of service so he wasn't even in the real Navy, let alone the real military. One weekend a month he pretended to be, taking a two week pleasure cruise every year to make sure he knew what a ship looks like in case all the actual sailors die. His air crew badge means he was probably like an aircraft mechanic or electronics guy.

Litterally participation trophies.

Every single one. If you dressed a dog in a uniform for 30 years and it didn't get a DUI, it would have the same exact ribbons.
