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.

never said it was. But many don't get purple hearts till their tour is finished for them.

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

He doesn't give many details, but he flew out of England. He was a tailgunner.
