#1 So, how about the ones shot at Ft Hood?
(I know, stupid question. Although, if the Ft Hood shootings are workplace violence, could you sue the Govt over a really hostile workplace?)

#3 Is the USAF trying to pump up their Purple Heart numbers?

The pessimist in me says that the USAF wants to bath in reflected glory. But the optimist in me says that the USAF is justifiably proud of what those young men did. The pessimist is right 9 out of 10 times. It is that 1 out of 10 that drives the pessimists to distraction and keeps me hoping.
