ColinEssex said:I was clarifying the difference between purple hearts (the drug) and purple hearts (the badge) and to the handing out of Purple Hearts (badges) like Smarties for everything from serious injury to a superficial cut. It seems to have lost its value because almost every serviceman gets one - they're even on ebay!
It wasn't a reference to the US intervention in WW2 - even if it was 2 years late.![]()
Incidentally, many people in the UK speak German, Spanish, French, Italian etc - we like to be prepared for the next invasion.

Thanks for the clarification Collin. Saying it like that makes it hard to argue with. Doesn't seem to have the same value as it use to. Also, we were very late in jumping in. Way too late. We had to wait until some mama's, here, decided it was bad enough to get involved. Poor decisions made, at that time. Languages spoken wasn't the real point. If it was then I think we have our bases well covered for anyone to invade.
