How does one a Purple Heart the easy way? An inch this, an inch that way and a ding is a mortal wound.

But they wern't mortal, they were superficial.

My Uncle came home early in WWII, he did his 25 daylight raids. But that was the deal you do 25 and your done, and you were usually dead by 15.

The point is that in order to get the PH you have to be where you can get killed and that can't be defined as "easy" any way you cut it.

About your uncle, where did he serve? My dad was 15th Air Force in Africa and Italy.
