Agree —about time! Are they saying now that it’s not a “work place shooting” but an actual act of terrorism by awarding Purple Hearts?? Hmmm......
The Congress made them do it. Congress inserted language into the Defense Appropriations Act that directed a change to the award criteria so that DoD had little choice but to approve the awards.
Purple Hearts are awarded for among other things, “...an injury created by bullet, shrapnel, projectile, or other injury created by ENEMY action.”
Enemy action? Hmmmmm.
