Yes, I would be proud! It happen doing service for my country and if up to me there should be a higher medal for a wound like that. How long would it take for jla to pump out bumper stickers... Fighting the War on Terror? Bob has no balls. Now you answer my question. Remember...Two balls...three purple hearts. I didn't read it as a question ... I didn't see any question marks... Well...If he is like most he only has two...He got three purple hearts. Mind you..I have no proof that the guy doesn't have three balls but it just seems a little bit of a long shot. I certainly would want a piece of that bet if there ever were one. Where's the question? Ignoring that oversight on your part. Let's go back to my statement. Hypothetically....suppose you got a purple heart as a result of your gonads being blown to smitherings. Would that be a thing that you would be proud of? Note that I wrote "a purple heart"...not three purple hearts. I've already accounted for both balls with one purple heart. But, I also didn't say suppose Kerry* had a purple heart, I wrote suppose you got a purple heart. So what exactly is your question? Two balls...three purple hearts* is not a question. Is your question, Does Bob have three balls?, Does Kerry have three balls? Would I take a bet that Kerry has three balls? Would I take a bet that you have three balls? What the hell is your question? Am I supposed to guess? Remember, Kerry is the one running on the purple heart/war hero thing. If there was something he was ashamed about in his records then why did he run on his military thing? It's taken Bush years to release his records. His service in Alabama so far is getting to a dentist. How many guys do you think step on land mines and have damage done in the groin area? I would think it would be a lot. Reasonable. And I wouldn't expect any one of them to get up [ooops, I almost wrote "stand up"] and say Hey everyone, I lost my balls in Vietnam The topic of "Purple Hearts" has been briefly discussed on this thread earlier. I made a comment that while I had nothing against Jessica Lynch, I didn't think she should get a purple heart. Her injuries resulted from a vehicle accident...jla said he knew a guy that got a purple heart for getting hit in the head with a beer can. I was willing to take his purple heart away and give Jessica two purple hearts. Our image of the purple heart award is probably all screwed up; you get a purple heart for any injury from getting hit in the head with a beer can to loosing multiple limbs. One thing is sure, you get awarded a purple heart. A commanding officer submits a recommendation and it gets approved in the command chain. I would expect that Kerry got his purple hearts on very minor injuries. I think the record shows that he spent little to no time in any medical facility. And it's pretty obvious that he has all his limbs. If he got his purple heart as a result of being hit in the head with a beer can, I'm sure that his commanding officer didn't write it up that way. Being "ashamed" is purely your speculation. And it's your limitation in offering that as the one and only explanation. jttmab
