We want to know about those famous wounds that he takes credit for.

Is it true that he only missed two days of service because of his "wounds". What happened to him? Did he drop his nail clipper on his foot?

That was only for the most serious of the three wounds (piece of shrapnel in the thigh, I believe). That one took him off duty for two days. The other two wounds didn't cause him to miss duty at all. I dunno. I never had combat duty, but some vets have said that those other two wounds sound like the type of thing that you wouldn't apply and/or received a Purple Heart for, unless you're a skate or a pu$$y.
