Kerry's story is pure barbra streisand on it's face. If the fragment wound was a superficial as the Doc. says, Kerry himself would have taken it out rather than wait until the next day to have the doctor do it. Think of the last time you got a wooden splinter in your skin.

If this is true, it was Kerry's intent to have this bruise win a Purple Heart and to employ a loophole to escape the danger and his military obligation.

When did Kerry learn about this trick excuse and how did he learn about it? It sure sounds self-inflicted to me!!! Kerry shot himself in the foot and got to bug out!!

Worse than that. My take pop a mortor round up close hope for the best get a piss ant fragment in the arm. What about the rest of the crew what kind of frags could these guys expect? Sounds like, I am going to fire this shotgun and hope for a fragment, so hey the rest of you guys are on your own. My experience is rock and bullet fragments. A morter fragment is designed to kill that is the way they are designed. The best are #10 TUNGSTEN FRAGS.
