No solid American, Vietnam Vet has nothing to do with it, would endorse this muslim p.o.s. Misguided? Oblivious? Probably.

After his 1968 rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Bleier was drafted into the U.S. Army in December 1968. He shipped out to Vietnam in May 1969 and served with the 196th Light Infantry Brigade. On August 20, while on patrol in Heip Duc, Bleier was wounded in the left thigh when his platoon was ambushed in a rice paddy. While down, an enemy grenade landed nearby, sending shrapnel into his right leg. He was later awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star.
