That is not the point. What a disgusting comment.
Cleland, like John McCain, deserve our respect and thanks for their military service. Just like any vet does. As far as their actual military service goes.
But any vet that lies about their actual service deserve nothing but contemp. Because their lies spit on all the other vets.
Historically, we have celebrated those that have been in military service and then went into public service. But anyone that attempts to build a public service career on lies about their military service should be stomped into the ground.
