Applied phaleristics - The Kingdom
Please take alook at this picture of a Saudi colonel (actor Ashraf Barhom).
Take a close look at his ribbon bar - what a joke! He has a Soviet ribbon... And the WW2 UK Africa Star... Also note the Liberation of Kuwait medal, from Kuwait, but not the Saudi Arabian medal...

Maybe he's a well-travelled mercenary?

And a very old one mercenary, with the Queen's South Africa Medal. He has aged well.
Three British medals (one Afro-British, with the Africa Star backwards), one Polish, and one Soviet. We could all make good money serving as advisors in the place of the idiots they seem to hire for movies! |

Oh, and speaking of "Applied phaleristics", I wonder how bad 'Charlie Wilson's War' is gonna be.

I didn't pay very close attention to the ribbons, but the movie is great. A must see
