Worth the Pain?

A study suggests that Purple Heart veterans live longer than unwounded vets.

I have a Vietnam-era veteran friend who suffers from sciatica due to shrapnel embedded in his leg that can't be removed. I wonder if he's comforted at the prospect of a longer life enduring his sciatica?

Maybe it's because they're ornery and more pissed-off and determined to get some satisfaction from VA doctors and staff?
