Reply #40: How often have youard of people being hurt by grenades

[JDPriestly]

going off outside of a war zone? A person who is hurt by a grenade is suffering a war injury even if the grenade goes off in his own pocket. He only has the grenade, his fellow soldiers only have the grenade because he is involved in a war. He is either preparing for a battle or engaged in a battle. Cleland is no less a war hero because he was not injured during the course of a battle with the enemy. He was not injured in his backyard. Cleland is just as much a hero, probably more, than McCain.

Accidents with grenades are very, very, very rare outside of war zones. They may occasionally happen during military training, but I haven't heard of such a case, and I doubt that there are very many. Maybe the exception is when someone finds an old grenade either in a soldier's souvenirs or on a former battlefield.
