    He doesn’t have any military ribbons on him in that picture.

    I think you are referring to that little line above his chest pocket. That is a handkerchief that is an American flag.

    Once you are out of the uniform you can do whatever you want with your ribbons. Though it would be beyond bad taste for the secretary of defense to wear them on his suit jacket.
