Death and injury by the enemy (the requirements for a Purple Heart) or a lone and crazy gunman made crazy by the policies of an evil America...

"Death and injury by the enemy (the requirements for a Purple Heart)"

No, that's not correct. Here are the requirements for a Purple heart.

To include an attack such as this in the awarding of the Purple Heart, would be to devalue it, and lessen it's meaning to those who have gone before us, with un-impeachable entitlement.

When WE start playing loose with the rules to make our political points, then we can only expect, and not complain, when the other side does, also.

There should be a new Medal created and awarded for this. And in so doing, we could bring to light all of the extended reasons why this really was a terrorist attack by a muzzie fanatic.

John Freakin' Kerry would love to see this happen.
