From the doc who treated John Kerry for the "wound" that earned him his first purple heart:
I simply removed the piece of metal by lifting it out of the skin with forceps. I doubt that it penetrated more than 3 or 4 mm. It did not require probing to find it, did not require any anesthesia to remove it, and did not require any sutures to close the wound.
The wound was covered with a bandaid.
3 or 4 mm deep? For that he requested a purple heart and was rejected by his CO. He appealed and was awarded the purple heart.
I'm not a republican, but he sure sounds like a colossal ass.
