Just another quick

Just another quick thought... I was just talking with someone in the military and mentioned tonight's discussion. His opinion was that purple hearts should go to only injuries, physical or otherwise, that are untreatable. It is his belief that PTSD is treatable and therefore shouldn't merit a purple heart.

 

That thought is of course relevant only to the specific case which we started out with... don't know if it is relevant in the larger, abstract picture that emerged.
