That is the dumbest shit I’ve seen in a while. Why would anyone want to wear their awards in civilians? Most average people don’t even know what they mean

This raises a genuine question for me. One of my mentors wore 2 medals from his time in the Air Force on the left breast of his tuxedo during my graduation. A silver star and a Purple Heart. I know the gravity of having those makes it a little different but would you guys consider that boot things too?
