The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

A priceless journalistic boo-boo!
This correction notice had me rolling in the aisles - and yes, it's genuine. I'll let the tweet speak for itself.
A Purple Heart for an IUD injury? I imagine emergency room staff all over the country would pay for the privilege of treating that injury . . . that is, if they could stop laughing long enough to do so! As for the officer writing the citation for the medal, it could only be a miscreant Second Lieutenant fresh out of OCS!
Verily, the mind doth boggle . . .

For the record, Peter, most of the 'devices' we remove are IRDs not IUDs... :p
