You mean like Bob Dole's first PH? "As we approached the enemy, there was a brief exchange of gunfire. I took a grenade in hand, pulled the pin, and tossed it in the direction of the farmhouse. It wasn't a very good pitch (remember, I was used to catching passes, not throwing them). In the darkness, the grenade must have struck a tree and bounced off. It exploded nearby, sending a sliver of metal into my leg--the sort of injury the Army patched up with Mercurochrome and a Purple Heart." Bob Dole, 1988

Even troops who self inflict wounds to get a purple heart? You can even get a purple heart if you're own comrade inflicts an injury. ... e.g., Jessica Lynch...her injuries were the result of the driver losing control of the vehicle she was in. There's no severity level that's required, an injury is an injury. jttmab
