Don't blame YaYa123; she was quoting me. ;)
"Self-inflicted" is motivation neutral; 'accidental" is not. As we do not know what was in Lt jg Kerry's little mind, the former term is the appropriate one.

As I posted the vast majority of the public on hearing this will conjure up a vision of somebody shooting themselves in the foot to avoid combat or get a medal etc
That's what I thought when I first heard the SVBV claims
I still think it is an inappropriate term from a PR viewpoint NOT a factual or terminology one
