"The Purple Heart is given for ANY wound, even a minor one."

Yes AS. During Vietnam, even little boo-boos that only
need a small band aid could get a Purple Heart. And if you
get three of them, those three boo-boos could allow you to
demand to be shipped back home so you can kick start your
political career by joining the Anti-war movement.

One caveat. A Purple Heart is warranted for injuries
sustained during an engagement with the enemy. And I
believe it needs to be caused by the enemy, or at least
not self inflicted when not engaging the enemy.......
