Read this story, you will see just how wrong you are

Separately, Meehan earlier this year showed the Globe a copy of a
medical
report that said Kerry was treated for a shrapnel wound that led to
his
first Purple Heart. Meehan would not allow a copy to be made of the
document.

The medical records would show the treatment received, and provide an
indication
of the severity of the wound. For example, if the treatment was a band
aid, then
the severity would be minimal.

Do you feel that anyone who receives the Purple Heart for a tiny injury
should never mention it?

That would be more appropriate than using it to proclaim oneself a 'war
hero.'

How about this: Any soldier who was in harm's way is a hero. That includes
millions, and excludes Nookular Boy. Simple.

As piloting an F102 could easily be considered "harms way," Bush would qualify
as a hero. Perhaps you meant to say, "Any soldier who was in a combat zone." But
that would include a lot of deserters and cowards.
