But can anyone solve Clutch's riddle of "10001110101" ?

That and it makes them look good. Kinda "hey we sent this person to an active warzone and they got hurt/killed. But we gave them this medal to make up for it"

Not to take away from those who earned a Purple Heart but the military loves to give them out for about anything.

When my father was in 'Nam, some drunk on base got ahold of a grenade and thought it would be funny to pull the pin and throw it in the middle of the base trying to scare everyone.

A piece of shrapnel grazed my father's arm, requiring 4 stitches to close up the wound. And while they were sewing him up, someone came and just put a Purple Heart on the table next to him.

He grabbed it, threw it back at the guy and said "save it for those who actually earned it"

And my father said the last he saw of the drunk idiot was an MP walking up and hitting him in the face with the butt of his gun and then they dragged his unconscious body towards the makeshift brig they had.

Hampden had nothing but a few flakes yesterday, but a friend a few miles away in Jackson said there was enough to lightly cover everything.

So it seems like it depends on just exactly where you were
