The initial decision not to award any Purple Hearts under the 0bama administration for the Ft. Hood terror attack was overturned.

Sgt. Berry dislocated a shoulder and was turned down and now the Army has to give a reason he was turned down or award the Purple Heart.

Yeah, the Army is pretty clear on the issue.

1. Jump off a truck in a combat zone and break your leg - no Purple Heart.

2. Jump off the same truck while under fire and break your leg - you get a Purple Heart.

A terrorist shooting through your door and you dive over a desk and dislocate your shoulder and need medical attention? Falls under # 2.
