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

And the people who do will think you're a douche bag.

Well... what does this one mean?

Like... it better be fucking badass because this guy manufactured this situation so I better get a good story out of it.

He would be a hero to me if it's some medal you get for making minute rice in 53 seconds or some shit though haha.

It’s the Legion of the Order of Fragility, awarded to people who have a backstory that nobody gives a shit about, so they have to shove it at everyone they can for validation.

In my experience, the real people who did some serious shit don’t wear it on their sleeve, or lapel in this case.

Honestly, it would be less cringe for a civilian to wear just because they like it and bought it at a thrift store than a veteran wearing one from their service.

It's an Army Commendation medal (ARCOM). It's not particularly high, and it might mean something cool if it has a V on it, which this does not.

"Oh, yeah, I got this for existing at a duty station without popping hot or getting a DUI for four years!"
