"Self-inflicted" is motivation neutral; 'accidental" is not.

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

Oh, ok... but I would wager that it's a PR tossup.
