In 1932, with the creation of the Purple Heart, Wound Chevrons were no
longer awarded to Army personnel.

In the modern military, the Wound Chevron is considered obsolete.



Ah...Ron? The "Wound Chevron" was a patch worn on the left sleeve.
The Chevrons on the ribbon of the Purple heart, are for multiple
awards. One Chevron for each additional award. The "chevron" is
actually a tiny little oak leaf cluster or star, depending on branch
of service, year of award and so forth. They actually were originally
tiny little V shaped Chevrons..so the term stuck in some branches.

The little stars I have on my service ribbon were originally 2 stars
and an oak cluster. They clashed on the ribbon, so I changed em to all
stars.

Sure you were in the military? Or was that another play for pity?

Several here, have seen the extra zippers and puckers Ive got on my
corpus from being in the wrong place at the wrong time.. Or as I call
it..Getting the Purple ****up.

The last two times I had back surgery..they had to be careful with the
MRI, due to remaining bits of hardware that I still carry around.

It's OK Ron, we all know that you're a pedophile. Sooner or later,
the police will arrest you but it's ok, because they're union cops.
Remember that as they beat the crap out of you, that they're union, too.


There is something to be said for beating someone on hourly rates,
rather than at piece work rates.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner

Are you saying that in medieval times they would have used his head
as a ram to knock down the gates and doors of castles?

What was it what was said about Allende after the coup? "He shot
himself with a machine gun, pausing twice to reload."

My favorite along that vein come from a movie called 'Running Scared' with
Gregory Himes and Billy Crystal, 'His boss fell on a knife four times'
