Even worse, it also downgrades a lot of awards - the Purple Heart is awarded for "Being wounded or killed in any action against an enemy of the United States or as a result of an act of any such enemy or opposing armed forces". Yet the Invasion of Grenada "Operation Urgent Fury" led to the award being given out far in excess of actual killed & wounded, and even those who were killed or wounded in accidents. There were more medals awarded for that operation than there were people involved in it.
