Not at all, but so what? Everybody feels the cold differently. The point is, a general wouldn't (to my knowledge) wear his ribbons on his overcoat, so it is natural that they wouldn't be showing in the bottom photo. He may have been wearing them on his uniform underneath. Honestly, I can't believe how many stupid comments people here make about things that are so blatantly obvious.
It doesn't cancel out. LW was suggesting that the other people in the bottom picture were dressed differently, as if the general were 'overdressed.' That's not the case. But even if they were all wearing lighter clothes, it wouldn't matter because everybody is different and he might have felt the cold more. It's a stupid argument for you to make.
Every other person in that photo is also wearing an overcoat.

In both pics they are wearing overcoats. It cancels out.

The overcoat does NOT have ribbons. The rank is on the should boards. The uniform is under the overcoat. Its there. I assure you.

No branch of service wears accoutrements of ANY KIND on the overcoat. They dont. Decorations are worn on Service COATS, and UNIFORMS. NOT OVERCOATS.
I served for 30 years at all echelon levels. I assure you, you have no clue what you are talking about.
