Wow, that's gross! I'm not sure you'd get a purple heart, but you might get a puss medal full of $hit!
Reply:Looking at your pic, it seems you are a conservative. You obviously got the short end of the stick when it came to brains.
Reply:Because John Kerry had visions of being President, even when he was a young, dumb, Lt. in Vietnam. If you read his own writings he idolized John F. Kennedy and wanted to be like him, thus he knew that he would have a better chance in politics if he was a decorated veteran. Yet Kerry then soke out against the Vietnam War, when he returned after his shortened tour of duty, so we see the flip flopping pattern that would hamper him 30 years later, developing early on in his political career.
Reply:Id say even for going to Iraq, u should all not only get purple hearts but purple veins as well as purple buttocks, aww what difference, the blind cant see anyway
Reply:Any injury that was inflicted via bullet, shrapnel, etc. caused during conflict with an opposing force qualifies for a purple heart. Even blue-on-blue incidents (friendly fire.) A competent medical authority has to attest to this fact.





If he deliberately injured himself, then no competent medical authority would recommend a purple heart.
Reply:How do we even know what the purple heart was for. Or how he was discharged? Most Vets have these readily accessible, they are badges of honor. Not our Kerry. No records. And you are entertaining, but fooling anyone? Unlikely.
Reply:You were there? You saw him do it???
