“Combat,” in theory, refers to engagement with the enemy in the course of an indefinite foreign occupation involving many thousands of troops.

"Combat", in actuality, involves one of THEM shooting at one of US. Period.

Been there, done that, don't have the "Slow Reflexes" medal to prove it. No disrespect meant to those who have been hit, great reflexes or not.

Sorry for the multiple post. I clicked twice when Google gave me this:

“The site ahead contains malware

Anyone seen this before while Posting? Any problems with FR?

also been there, done that with the “Slow Reflexes” award. And with our then abundant dark, if not gallows, humor, and no disrespect, we referred to the award as a “Heart”, “George” or a “losers badge”. The latter name from being “tagged” during the game.
My battalion was known for Purple Heart awards. That fact and being somewhat atypical of my shipmates increased my awareness of the honor.
First time in just over 48-years that I’ve related my tale of friend “George”.

Semper Fidelis and Guns UP!
