I saw the Wiki piece, but no mention of requester is mentioned. Is it customary to request for one's self? How about all the other Purple Hearts awarded? Are they self-requested too?Accounts from military records. He asked for each medal. It is public record.Sez who?He wrote himself up for them.Right! Purple Hearts were given out in Cracker jack boxes, just for the asking? Ask any VN vet.The medals were given at best under fishy circumstances. He was in the country less than 3 months and collected a bronze star, silver star and purple hearts. Quite a feat He must have put himself in for the purple heart every time he bumped his Herman Munster noggin on the bulkhead. The controversy surrounding all of his " exploits " are profound.Imagine if he’d bought himself a few deferments and insulted POW’s instead of earning medals fighting for our country. He could be a GOP POTUS right now.
