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..?
You have to be kidding me, because I was under the impression from all the Dems crying, "it is an outrage to throw this man out of the Senate", that Cleland lost those limbs while fighting an entire army!!!
My pastor went to Vietnam and went through the same training and didn't blow himself up through some mistake of his own - so am I to consider Cleland more of a hero than my pastor simply because Cleland makes a mistake in training leading to his loss of three limbs?
Did he say it made him any more of a hero than any other Veteran? No, he said it doesn't STOP him being a hero. You mis-interpreted what he said.
