Don't cheapen the Award...

So apparently, people with Traumatic Brain injuries from Iraq aren't deserving of Purple Hearts because they don't want to "cheapen the award" by giving it out to everyone that is wounded. While this is personally very aggravating, Think about this. Where does it end? does getting cut qualify? And isn't losing a limb much worse than a simply breaking an arm. heck, people get shot on the streets of America all the time. Should we give it out for that?
It is for precisely this reason that the wording for the purple heart is the way it is (http://www.army.mil/usapa/epubs/pdf/r600_8_22.pdf) paragraph 2-8 if your interested.
" The Purple Heart differs from all other decorations in that an individual is not “recommended”
for the decoration; rather he or she is entitled to it upon meeting specific criteria. "
That is taken straight from the AR concerning Military awards.
So it isn't really up to bureaucrats to decide who gets it or not. If you meet the requirements, you get it. Yet people who meet the requirements, aren't. this makes no sense to me, but maybe it's because of my brain damage. The criteria aren't all that complicated, but of course, the powers that want to be make these things as muddled as they can. problem is, THEY AREN'T!
That is problem 1. That isn't my problem, yet. My problem is much worse than that. My problem is that the people who are responsible for writing the reports and helping me with this won't. Why, you ask? A good question. The reason is this. I didn't receive treatment for my condition for over a year after I was injured. I tried to get it but was denied it, repeatedly. I went to the building where it was supposed to be, and the place was always locked up tight. they, months before we were to leave Iraq, they packed up and left. Problem is, I wasn't even attached to my company any more. I had been sent to another unit because they didn't like dealing with me since I was having issues. Issues caused by my brain damage. Brain damage I wouldn't have had if they had kept me on post like they were asked to by my doctors before I was sent to Iraq. Helping me now would just incriminate them. So of course, they can't do that. Of course, since I was in the army, there is nothing I can do. These people are still in the service and still able to do this kind of thing to others. There is no recourse for justice at all. I understand chain of command and all. I have no issues with following orders, but at some point, those in power need to be called to account for their actions. There must be a way to see that justice is done here. I may not know what to do yet, but I won't stop trying. I will not quit until I have figured out what I can do. It might take a while, but it will happen. just you wait and see.
