Here, he earned a Silver Star for his heroics when he leapt ashore after an ambush to pursue a fleeing Viet Cong with a grenade launcher and shot him dead.

I believe he also got one of his purple hearts from this action, which required nothing more than a Band-Aid.

Yeah he got wounded in his fat tush. He was such a slime he stole bottles of booze from the base,then sold it along the Mekong river. There is a special place in hell for pond scum like him.

Infuriating. My mother died last year and I inherited the purple heart of her first husband. He was killed by a sniper in Germany two weeks before the end of WWII. Infuriating.

What happens when the police do the same thing in Chicago?
