any individual earning one Purple Heart every 45 days would be viewed by his comrades as somewhat of a lightning rod. I for one would not want to be close to someone that attracted enemy fire like a magnet. The goal in combat is to inflict enemy casualties, not to become one. That is true...And the term applied affectionately to guys like that is "magnet ass". But magnet ass doesn't apply to Kerry because 2 of his wounds were self inflicted. Men who are wounded by their own weapons fired by their own hands are known as "idiots".
