One of the things that has troubled me about this is the case of the quadraplegic who was not given a Purple Heart.
As you know, recipients of a Purple Heart no longer have to pay for medical care thanks to the the Veterans Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act.

However,
since the conservatives in the White House are of the compassionate persuasion,
they have seen fit to deny Purple Heart awards to the majority of the wounded.
It is a chickenhawk thing, most people will not understand it.
