Trim Stab... your own link to that political article shows that Kerry was denied a PH when it was known that no enemy fire was involved, and that only by going to someone who didn't know the facts and lying to him about the injury was it eventually awarded.
Then the other article you link openly states that classifying an injury not caused by the enemy as being a "combat wound" IS FRAUD. It also states "Purple Hearts are not supposed to be awarded for self-inflicted wounds, nor for wounds too minor to require treatment by a physician."!
These are what you bring up to try to claim that self-inflicted injuries qualify for a PH?
By your own links, your statement is false... please have the moral strength to apologize.
