"Receipt of a Purple Heart award requires that a service member's actions following a distinguishing act are honorable," Gilmore said.

Does this mean that if I get caught peeing in a trash can cause one of my legs got blown off in combat and couldn't race to the outhouse in time, I don't get a Purple Heart?

LOL. No, bhfred. But you may receive your Purple Heart, post-humously. You obviously failed your basic medical training. You need a tourniquet first.
