Kerry's wound was more serious than Bob Dole's for which he admitted he received a second Purple Heart. Dole confesses the small sliver wound in his arm was treated with iodine and a bandaid. Kerry's was treated with a large bandage. Dole refused to come to Kerry's defense in 2004 though he knew Kerry was a true hero who was being smeared. It's called partisan politics. Thousands of combat vets have Purple Hearts from small sliver wounds. But small sliver wounds can kill. If they slice an artery or get lodged next to the spine or heart they are every bit as deadly as a bulletwound.

Re: Your comments on Kerry's wound: There's a 30-year-old guy on my softball team. He's trying to become a Marine. He sprained his ankle and should have sat out for at least three weeks, perhaps four or five. But there he was, bull determined, playing third base a week later. When I was young I sprained my wrist and had a light cast on it. That didn't stop me from playing shortstop, as I merely switched to a lefthanded glove, caught the ball and flipped both the ball and glove into the air and threw to first. I still played. Now, how old was Kerry when he was in the military? What's your complaint?
