On a morbid note, they made so many Purple Hearts for the planned invasion of Japan in 1945 that they haven’t needed to make more since.

- endominus 4y agoI don't see how that's morbid. They thought a lot more people would be injured or killed than actually were. Isn't that the opposite of morbid?
- arlort 4y agoI think what's implied to be morbid isn't the fact that they haven't made them since, it's them making so many in the first place
- defrost 4y agoNot exactly true, more were made in 1976, in 2000, and in 2008. What is true is they still have a fair few left over ready to issue from WWII .. they misplaced 125,000 from that time and rediscovered them in that enormous Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse.
