One small correction, Cleland is not a war hero. He blew himself up with a hand granade.

Holy Frag Batman, I didn't know that. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't be bragging about, or leveraging, the condition he's in. Poor judgement or just another foible from the Democrats. Being used as a prop shows the man has no self respect.

Cleland is not a war hero for blowing himself up. He is a war hero for his actions in battle some time before his self-inflicted injury. Max Cleland deserves to be called a war hero, AFAIK.

But the DEM party and media have erred in attempting to attach his injury to an heroic act.
