9,000 Purple Hearts - That's An Order

(From GPM)

<< Lee Graves this week got some good news for his business, but not very good news for soldiers.

"On Wednesday, we got the official order to make 9,000 Purple Hearts," he told me from Tomball, Texas.

Purple Hearts are awarded to servicemen and women who are wounded in the zone of hostility during war.

But we are not fighting a war, according to Bill Clinton, we are just "degrading" Slobbo's war machine. OK.

Then why in good God's name are we making Purple Hearts if we are not in a war and we don't expect casualties? >>
