I never said he has the Purple Heart, and as far as I know neither has
he. He has the Silver Star.

Ahh, but he WORE the PH for awhile, claiming his wounds were combat related.
They weren't. So, when he waves his stump and hollers about his wounds and
stuff, he is being a phony.

How can that *not* be combat? The guy got blown to bits by incoming
fire!

The guy was fiddling with a hand grenade when it went off, and it was in a
non-combat situation.

You read a hatchet job by the uberbitch Ann Coulter and swallowed it
hook, line and sinker. Four days after heroic action in the battle of
Khe Sanh, for which he was awarded the Silver Star, Cleland was nearly
killed in an accident. He wasn't "fiddling" with a hand grenade. He
picked it up after he thought it fell off his web belt when he jumped
out of a helicopter.

You are a disgrace.

I never read Ann Coulter's account of what happened. I've talked with vets and
that is what they claim. Does he have a PH? No. That should tell you
something.

And you're a putz afterall.

You seem to do a lot of talking with nameless "vets" who don't know
what the **** they're talking about. You and your anonymous pals are
a bunch of despicable, backbiting, lying, rear echelon mother****ing
cowards and a disgrace to the uniform. Scum like you are not worthy
of scraping the mud off the shoes of true heroes like John Kerry and
Max Cleland.

You've really opened up and shown roff your true colors, yellow to
the core, and we should be thankful for that at least.

The vile, vicious and unprecedented attacks on Max Cleland during
the 2002 Senate race stiffened the resolve of Democrats and NO MORE
will lying filth like you be allowed to attack the patriotism of
those who disagree with you. We are mad as hell and WE'RE NOT GONNA
TAKE IT ANYMORE !! From now on we fight back, HARD, against these
outrageous lies and the despicable, cowardly liars who tell them.
And let that be Max Cleland's political legacy.

Max Cleland served honorably and received a Silver Star. I have no doubt about
that and I am thankful for it. He did not, however, "leave his limbs on a
battlefield" like your adorable DNC head claims. That is all I have to say
about Max Cleland.

John Kerry saved a man's life in VN and for that he was awarded the Bronze
Star. That is commendable. The story about his actions that got him the
Silver Star are a little suspicious, especially the part where he shoots a
wounded man fleeing from the scene with a wound in a leg. He has his back to
Kerry. The Geneva Convention prohibits such action. You can't kill wounded
unless you are in danger. The VC teenager was running away from Kerry.

Yeah, I was a remf, and so was 30% of the Army, 30% of the USMC, 80% of the
Navy, and 90% of the AF. But, we did our jobs and helped end the Cold War.
Your type of "patriot" is the one who spit on every GI returning home, whether
or not he was in RVN. It was your type that stopped their car while I was
hitchhiking and beat the **** out of me (2 men and a girl) simply because I was
in uniform. It was your kind, along with Kerry, Hanoi Jane, Ramsey Clark, Tom
Hayden, et al, that gave comfort to the enemy and prolonged the war. Your kind
killed more gi's than anyone else. And then you have the balls to say, "if I
was drafted I'd go to jail", KNOWING that you never stood a chance to be
drafted because you were too young. A ****in' wannabe you are! A brave, 7
iron armed, protestor. Bull****.

So, stick that 7 iron up your buggered ass, coward.

Dave here is a link to the story of Cleland's injuries submitted by
his commanding officer:

Coulter, in her article, claimed he was on a beer run. I wonder if Khe
Sanh had good beer.

I agree with that. No problem. He done good.

What's with this PH red herring?

It's no red herring. It is what I have been talking about all along.
McAuliffe claims "he lost his limbs on a battlefield protecting us." That is
not true. He unfortunately lost his limbs in a non-combat situation, so he
doesn't deserve the PH (unfortunately).

I have not read Coulter's account of it. But I do know that he did not receive
a PH for it as McAuliffe claims.

The guy was a hero, no doubt about that, but McAuliffe's remarks about "leaving
his limbs on a battlefield" are incorrect. He did not receive his wounds in
combat.

And, actually, they did have good beer in Khe Sahn. I imagine it came in by
air.

Dave,

I know absolutely nothing about what happened or didn't happen, but
just based on what I've read in this thread it seems like you need to
step back and let this go. Sounds like the guy was a hero and was
wounded while in a dangerous area. I'd expect that to be enough for
a guy like you. Anything more than that is a technicality. Yes, he's a
politician, and it does sound like the DNC is trying to put a spin on it
that might not be totally justified. But let's face it, there's lots
worse going on. Yes, Bush avoided VN by strings being pulled and
getting a cushy guard position. Yes, Kerry probably got his SS due to
the right strings being pulled. Is any of this really a surprise?
They are all politicians.
