"The recklessness of Max Cleland reflected in his Armed Services Report Card: "
He's a putz, but that's not really fair.
He was exiting a helicopter, saw a hand grenade on the ground that he thought had fallen off his webbing but actually fell off someone elses, and then it blew up.
There are plenty of things to bag on Cleland about, but being a cripple isn't one of them. Show some class, pls.
Exactly. From what I understand, at least when Max was awarded his Silver Star (in an action different than when he reached for the grenade of unknown origin) it was for something more than shooting a kid in the back. Gotta give him credit where it's due...
So, I for one will not engage in poking fun at an unarmed man.

I agree.
