This photo is on the home page for photos.com. Does anything look out of place?
The photo is pretty small. Anyway it was CAP ribbons on an Army uniform
Here's a close up

It looks like an encampment ribbon and unit citation in there. Also looks like someone had a little trouble with the Saudi clasp.
Also a Yeager and a Loenig ribbon in there. The Jump wings are too close to the ribbons, as well, and look to be on crooked.
AF brushed silver nameplate instead of the black Army nameplate.
There were some other stock photographs taken by a professional photographer showing a woman Captain wearing Army Class A's with CAP ribbons, etc. I'm willing to bet this is from the same guy. Find a bunch of stuff that looks military, slap it on a model, and take photos.

I wonder where they got the ribbons. Couldn't possibly have come from Vanguard. I am guessing they don't have time for that kind of struggle. :)
I wish I had my camera, and I went to the DeVry University website to look, but today at a job fair for veterans, DeVry had a backdrop display that had a picture of an Army, Navy and Air Force officer at present arms. The uniforms were pathetic.
The navy officer had 6 ribbons to include an Earhart and several other CAP ribbons and the AF BMT Honor Grad ribbon. The Army guy had 8 ribbons in 2 rows (4 across) with a Silver Star being the second lowest.
They had this to attract military members/veterans. It took me all of 1/2 second to ID these bogus uniforms...

Yay for closeups!

Also note that the cap the Naval officer is wearing is a Marine Corps dress cap. Not Navy.

The sheer number of things wrong with the photos on that site is astronomical.

Among all the pictures on that site is a close-up of the rack on the "Navy" officer. One of the ribbons is a Yeager.

A warning to all:
Unless you want to loose way too many minutes of your life (which you'll never get back) and develop an aneurysm as you pick out everything wrong with a uniform, do not go to that site.
You have been warned.

Same guys, but in a different order. In the pic I saw the Navy guy was in the middle. Must have been a long photo shoot day at the office.
Wow.....
Somebody took time, effort, and probably money to put that photo shoot together?! It looked like the tryouts for the NEW Village People in some of the photos - like the one with the three gentleman all smiling and giving the Benny Hill salute!
And I didn't know dirrector M. Night Shyamalan was a Marine either!
Looking at those photos was like reading the back of a kid cereal box and playing the "what's wrong in the picture" game.
YUCKY!
