It hardly matters. It must one be of the most stupid statements
made from an educated person yet on this NG.



It is the bitter jealousy that someone who doesn't have that award feels for
someone who does. I came through WW II without a scratch. I don't have a Purple
Heart but many of the men I flew with do. And to suggest that these men were
somehow deficient in thier abilities or profesionalism is both idiotic and
outragious.
