First of all it was three purple hearts, not 4.

Second, I guess I know the answer to my question: "Or are you just another piece of shit, don't respect the service of another American, blah-blah-blah talker?"

Where I come from a man doesn't call a man a coward unless he KNOWS that he's right. If he slanders someone that way and it turns out it was all talk, it tells us what we need to know about the honor of the slanderer. Adios.

PS. You probably didn't know that officers in Vietnam had a much shorter time in the "front" than did the enlisted men. In the army officers had a 6 month service in the field as opposed to 12 months for non-officers. Of that time most enlisted men spent 8-11 months in the field, most officers spent less than 6 months in the field. The four month time was not unusual, even for those that weren't wounded three times.
