He is deserving just as much as the next. I had a friend who received a Purple Heart in Viet Nam....he twisted his ankle jogging. Being he was in the war zone at the time, he received the Purple Heart. Knocking down the wall with the picture of Sadam and getting hurt in the process deserve the medal. After all, the whole place is a war zone. Just another injustice in the world.

Precisely .....and here's me thinking it was only British troops that got officially sh*t on

Thanks for posting Skybird....very informative
