Looks like Sheriff David Clarkes army medals might be B.S.

2. They are not military medals

Whether he should be wearing them would be based on the Sheriff's department uniform standard. Some takeaways though. Every other member of his staff photographed in the same dress uniform have no sign of embellishments. Also the sheriff of Racine county testified in front of Congress in his dress uniform - also no embellishments and his uniform looks similar.

As sheriff I suspect he has wide latitude in defining dress code etc so compliance may be whatever he says it is.
