Regardless of how he lost 3 limbs, he is a tragic person. I can't imagine living all these decades like that. His bitterness is misdirected but it's understandable. Attacking him would be a mistake. Every time I see him it just tears at me and you know many feel that way. If he was in Vietnam when he lost his limbs, that will be the most significant fact to most.

For 30 years, Cleland had blamed himself for his injuries. "

Does this mean he now blames Lloyd for his injuries instead of a wartime accident which is common???
