What happened to a General having a chest full of medal salad?

This General looks like he’s been in only 8 years.

Did the rules for medal wear change?

Some medals are mandatory, most are optional. The current fad is to only wear the mandatory ones. I didn't wear a good conduct medal on most of my dress blues, because it only indicates that you stayed out of jail for 4 years in a row.

I did/do wear the two that I earned with blood, sweat, and tears. The nice chef's jacket that I use for special events has them on the collar.
