"Everyone in Nam knew about the three purple heart rule"
Well this Marine didn't know about it...I guess I was too busy fighting the war and trying not to get another PH! LOL
Of course, if one of us grunts got a PH they were very lucky if they were able to live through it. Charlie didn't miss often and if they did they didn't leave much behind...But then we didn't have bunkers in the bush either.
