Those piles of ribbons weren't worn by Ike because a) they didn't exist at the time, and b) the uniform regs were somewhat different.
Now, it's nearly a requirement to wear every award you've been given. Then, they were for the most part optional.
Go ahead, show up for a greens inspection not wearing an award your CSM knows you have.
Also, Ike, for all his prowess as an organizer, wasn't a particular standout until his skills came to the fore during the planning to take back Europe. He was largely a political General.
Patton, on the other hand....
Yeah, he had a lot of awards for not soiling his pants as well.
The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
Respect is a "goes around, comes around" thing.
People who do not think being the President of the United States - elected by a majority - deserves respect should not be surprised by disrepect.
If you think it is okay to disrepect the position of those you don't like it gives permission for others to express disrepect as well.
And this from the woman who is so concerned about the troops she spend Sunday morning reading obits.
Because you have an issue with someone it's okay to disrespect millions upon millions of servicemembers?
Here's a buck.
Go buy yourself a clue.
