Sorry Troll but the truth will set you free. Even when it's a hard truth as Ann has written regarding Cleland. Had he not cashed in ($$$) on his misfortune I might be a tad more sympathetic.

Sorry Toonces, but Ann's statements about Cleland were not "truth", hard or soft. He was injured four days after the actions for which he was awarded the Silver Star in Khe Sanh. You remember Khe Sanh? If that wasn't the "battlefield" in VietNam, then there was no battlefield. It is true that he was wounded by a grenade dropped by another while disembarking from a chopper. But he was in a combat zone and he was disembarking at an LZ that had recently been taken in hostile action. Ann's comments to the contrary demostrate either a lack of research or an outright lie, and she does owe the man an apology.
