I cannot understand the mind of someone who would go to the Corpsman for something that only required a topical disinfectant

I cannot fault him for that. He was bandaged up, routine stuff. Why not go to a corpsmen for it?

However, a Purple Heart? Paleeze.

How many of you combat veterans, applied and received a PH for wounds, which did not require stitches and was signed off as a "Returned to duty"?

okay, this may not be the brightest question, but im curious about the Ph's. I thought this was something you were given, not requested. what kind of person requests a purple heart, 3 for that matter?
This guy just makes me sick, my son has had more boo-boos then this moron.
