"I got a piece of small grenade in my ass from one of the rice bin explosions."...dynamite...hope every major newspaper, magazine and network in the country gets a copy of this, so they understand exactly what they're working so diligently to keep covered up.......

I wish the information would be portrayed properly. The Annenber Poitical Fact Sheet, a self-described non-partisan organization tries to discredit the SVBFT claims

"In any case, even a "friendly fire" injury can qualify for a purple heart "as long as the 'friendly' projectile or agent was released with the full intent of inflicting damage or destroying enemy troops or equipment," according to the website of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. All agree that rice was being destroyed that day on the assumption that it otherwise might feed Viet Cong fighters."
