Was it Harkin that blew his own legs off trying to toss a grenade in Nam? Or some other Dem libtard?
No. That was Mack Mattingly (Georgia). For years the story was that he hopped out of a chopper, dropped his grenade and bent down to pick it up and BLAM....two legs and an arm gone. One of his very first jump offs as I recall.
Many, many, many years later (running for reelection?) supposedly some other GI around at the time came up and spontaneously told him at some event somewhere “it wadn’t Mack’s own grenade.” Convenient. I didn’t believe that then, and I don’t believe that now.
I could tell some stories about him. My mother (rest her soul) was a VA nurse in Georgia at the hospital this putz went to. He acted out the real ass there every time he came.
