Amazing isn't it. There whole country is starving to death and they cover themselves with awards they never really earned.

It also seems that "suspension" isn´t in the korean language. Too much screwback stuff doesn´t look so good on open neck uniforms.

Here is another walking christmas tree.
Two suspension medals in the bottom on the right side which I assume relates to the Korean Liberation war in 1950-1953, as I have two such ones at home that look exactly the same, and some on the left side (two looks Bulgarian), |

I love these pics! I wonder what happens if these guys get near power lines!
Excellent examples of many NK orders, though! :cool:

How about these guys. They look like freaking Christmas trees!
I'm curious how much a jacket like this one can weight? Note the uniform has no pockets wahtsoever, I guess this way the space is utilized to the fullest! William |

Re: Korean awards - full set!
Here's a picture of Kim Jong Il in the same uniform to accompany the above Kim Il Sung pic. You are correct about the Marshal's star; in Korean, they call him Wonsu, which is like a Marshal of the Soviet Union or else one symbolic rank higher (I forget which). It might seem ridiculous for someone from such a small country to have such a high rank until you consider how huge their military is (fourth largest in the world).
