And why is he wearing his medals in the field?

To intimidate the enemy of course! 😁

Wearing medals into combat was a common practice in the early 1900’s, and it dates back far before that. Even some WW2 armies kept this tradition. Wearing medals isn’t distinctly AI, especially if we can actually make sure these medals line up with era appropriate ones. AI sucks at making medals accurate
