I've always thought the Purple Heart was one of the dumbest medals the military awarded. Awards for bravery and exceptional service, yes. But one for getting wounded? Makes no sense to me.

Personally I believe they should make the PH more difficult to get. Per the order you can receive one for a non-life threatening wound. Hell we had guys that were put in for them because they took minor shards to the face that were no worse than shaving cuts.
I completly agree

"Let it be known that he who wears the military order of the purple heart has given of his blood in the defense of his homeland and shall forever be revered by his fellow countrymen." George Washington, 7 August 1782

Seems like a worthy award to me.
