One Star General Pak Chan Su. When we asked him why he had so many
medals, he answered that he killed a lot of people!..Stupid question!
He's now got a job in the war museum as special guide, it means he can
work when he wants!

Excellent photograph.
One reason why they wear so many medals is that they can earn the same medal over and over again, and are also allowed to wear each award of that medal.
You may see on their "parades" the guys wear "civilian" jackets, with orders and medals pinned over each side of the jacket.

The Korean war was almost 60 years ago, unless he is in his 80s, medals for killing what people? Maybe those metals are as a real as the big amount of invisible traffic running over the eight lane roads in Pyongyang, which on top of it all (as seen here), have traffic officers controlling none existent cars every two minutes, pure dementia. But wait, maybe he is referring to the killing of his own slaved countrymen who aren't brainwashed and don't want to play along to communist egomaniacs, I see.
It has been 60 years of a psychopathic sect-like regime working hard at forcing and creating an artificial selection of zombies for which they have constructed more than 20 concentration camps, among other tactics. Yeah, 60 years of that is a lot of murdered people along a lot of imposed misery as a control tactic. Yes, a true hero for any nation...
I rather define a hero as that who kills such people and works at saving populations from such nightmares.
But anyhow, good photo, as others have pointed, the expression of the mouth alone shows the level of unapologetic haughtiness required for the position.
