[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 3088757, member: 1246"] According to the [I]Los Angeles Times[/I]: "Navy rules during the Vietnam War governing Purple Hearts did not take into account a wound's severity—and specified only that injuries had to be suffered 'in action against an enemy.'" "A [I]Times[/I] review of Navy injury reports and awards from that period in Kerry's Swift boat unit shows that many other Swift boat personnel received Purple Hearts for slight wounds of uncertain origin."
