Was that ONE bomb, Art, in that "pickle barrel", or did a flight of several
aircraft string them out a little? In another post you told us how easy it
was from tem thousand feet -- "point blank" you said. Don't tell me they
gave out any medals for the Bridge at Verberie: it would have been
unsportsmanlike to accept one if that was true.

Nope. No medals.

Did you ever get a purple heart for a band aid scratch like John Kerry?

He got three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star and you never got a damn thing or
fired a shot in anger or ever saw the enemy. Right phony?

Once my brother was out with 1st Air Cav team as radioman and fell asleep
before they got to the jump site. The rotary wing had begun to roll so the
one of the othe seargents gave him a lift push. His AR went barrel first
into the ground and landed head first on the rifle butt, but he doesn't have
a purple heart.

John Kerry spent less than four months in Vietnam and may be a war criminal.

The war criminal is in Washington DC and he never spent a day in Nam.

They don't give purple hearts for stupidity or clumsiness.

Why, did you get one for being stupid or clumsy?
