That's a heaps better pic of Bobby DeNiro 12A54. Nice work. Still don't know why he has a beard, maybe a it was a shooting thing, he has to have the beard for other scenes.

Denzel Washinton as Rubin "Hurricane" Carter from The Hurricane. The medals he's wearing are mired in controversy.

[12A54]

Narcos, a great Netflix original well worth your time. You couldn't get a ribbon rack more incorrect than this: Patrick St. Esprit playing Col. Wysession of the US Embassy Colombia.

 

[63 RECON]

Good one! You just beat me to it.

 

Is the bronze star down on the bottom row in the middle or is it something else?

[12A54]

Yep - bottom two are BSM and SSM. I think in earlier episodes the rack was arranged differently (but still bad).

[lettow]

Good one! You just beat me to it.

 

Is the bronze star down on the bottom row in the middle or is it something else?

 

It is closer to being correct if it were rotated 180 degrees.
