Max Cleland served his country.
In Vietnam, he lost 3 limbs. Yes, he lost them picking up a grenade on a training range when heading back for a beer, but so what..?
War takes many victims, some in heroic battles, some in silly accidents.
In my eyes they are still all heros.
After losing 3 limbs he went back to the States and built a life, a career, and became a Senator.
I agree he has let himself become something of a ra
ther poor taste tool for Kerry in his silly stunts, but hey, he's earned it.
I don't think Cleland was all that good a Senator, and Chambliss I think more accurately represents the views of his state, but Cleland has earned the right to free speech.. annoying or otherwise.
Just my 2 cents
