As a rifleman in Vietnam, I did receive a Purple Heart for a minor
wound. I might have made it through that day without being wounded if
I hadn't been ordered by an officer to move to an exposed position

Show me a man who was never in an exposed position, and I will show you a man
who has never been to combat. Or is a liar.
