So let me get this right -- If your'e a Democrat the only way you can be

[CatWoman]

awarded a purple heart is by being wounded so severely, you must have stayed in the hospital AND draw disability pay.

But if you're a Republican, you don't need to show up in combat at all.

Do I have this right?

1. Almost. As a Democrat who manages to get wounded severely

enough to "deserve" a Purple Heart, you are also a liberal wussy AND that repuke that didn't show up at all, is better suited to be your commander than you are his.

Feh.

2. Also,

remember that Democrats write up their own recommendations for Purple Hearts, even though regulations call for the attending medical officer to do so.

3. Actually, if you're a Democrat, you could lose 3 limbs

and it still wouldn't be enough.

4. Yow.

You win, Feanorcurufinwe. Damn.

[CatWoman]

5. Yep

I bow to Feanorcurufinwe's wisdom :D
