Occasionally I will post pictures and ask what's wrong with them. Here is another I recently found online. Can you see what's wrong with this pictures?

And go....

There are probably several issues here, but there are two things I notice right off the bat. 1) there are 2 NDSM ribbons. If this person has actually been awarded this medal a 2nd time, a brass star is affixed to it instead of adding another one to the stack. 2) order of presedence appears whacked up.

Top to bottom, left to right:

1) USMC Reserve, Silver Star, Unknown can't find it, Joint Service Achievement Medal
2) NDSM, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Another Unknown can't find, Yet Another Unknown can't find.
3) Unknown again, Iraq Campaign Medal (2), NDSM, Army Overseas Service Ribbon
4) The only ribbon I can locate on a chart is the bottom-right, Navy and Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon.

Several unknown or unfound ribbons in this stack but I definitely do believe that first one is way out of order sitting right there. ;) And I've never heard of a Marine with a SEAL Trident, but perhaps it is possible this guy was an inter-service transfer. I'm sure it is possible there might be a Navy SEAL somewhere who would want to transfer to the Marine Corps...I don't think it is likely but I suppose it would be possible. Have we indeed established this guy is supposed to be a Marine?

I looked up the ribbons using bing.com and this is the link: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=military+service+ribbons+chart&qpvt=Military+Service+Ribbons+Chart&qpvt=Military+Service+Ribbons+Chart&FORM=IGRE#view=detail&id=C951536BD3E68EBB43122BE8E3F5AEF1E136B609&selectedIndex=2

Dude talk about a cluster! Didn't have to go any further than the first 2 things, Seal Insignia followed by the Marine Reserve Ribbon. Talk about Clueless.

WTF!?! He's got a dozen things wrong, but the national defense cannot be upside down because it's symmetrical.

Please tell me you're kidding Gary. It's called humor, more specifically sarcasm. It's blatantly obvious this clown is a soup sandwich (note he's wearing 2 national defense in that fucked up stack), especially if you are familiar whatsoever with the full photo of the shit stain wearing the uniform.

To many to a row. Duplicate ribbons. Trident is to small. Bronze star is on wrong. Navy and Marine ribbons.

Thought the Trident looked a little small, but the first thing I noticed was that the ribbons were not aligned and the ends are ragged.
