Nobody....and I mean absolutely nobody....wears medals like this on a dress jacket. The guy is some nutcase.
He looks like one of those old Russian generals from the “Great Pat-ree-otic” war.
Yeah, I thought that also. Especially wearing the medals on one side and the ribbon bars on the other.
I will say that in England and Russia, veterans wear their medals on their suits for special occasions. I have rarely seen in the US.

I felt the same way. A few years ago, a guy over 6’ joined our church and at a formal party wore his Navy Air Dale wings and a couple of Navy medals. I asked him what he flew, and it was a jet that flew on and off carriers (not a combat jet). He said that he served off Nam for a couple of tours.
Last year, he said that he was an Annapolis grad and he really disliked McCain and hated GW.
All types of flags went up. However, when I checked him out, he was legit with an honorable record of service and had been a graduate of the Naval Academy. He had obtained the rank of Captain and held some key at sea positions.
However, he is probably a real minority re the wearing of medals while not in uniform.
