[ Cleland hunched over to avoid the whirring blades and ran. Turning to face the helicopter, he caught sight of a grenade on the ground where the chopper had perched. It must be mine, he thought, moving toward it. He reached for it with his right arm just as it exploded, slamming him back and irreparably altering his plans for a bright, shining future. ]

Sounds like he was frag'ed to me... Granades underneath a recently taken off copter don't just appear...

Maybe Cleland is 3 limbs short of being a whole traitor... as he seems to makeing evident daily.. by being a democrat

No, it was accidently dropped by another fellow. He was injured by the blast as well and he felt really badly about what happened to Cleland- as would you. The other fellow had 'flattened the cotter pin to make it easier to pull the pin out'. That was not a very clever thing to have done. When Cleland picked the grenade up, the pin had either already fallen out or fell out as Cleland picked it up.
