Reply to comment by ShadowDragon8685 in Purple Heart awarded to deputy in fatal shooting during middle school pickup prompts backlash by SLaSZT

If it's even thought about in regards to his court case then it's for tangible benefit (of association with the REAL Purple Heart award) and as soon as they refer to it even tangentially they should be opened up for massive litigation.

Nope, because the act specifies the specific military awards which it is illegal to fraudulently claim to have earned for tangible benefit.

This is a different "Purple Heart." Which he did "legitimately" earn, by the standard of "the pigs can give themselves whatever medals they wish."
