Cleland injuring himself is unfortunate, but not heroic...and cannot be compared to an injury from the enemy. He himself admits that only an idiot picks up a loose grenade. Regardless of what other democrats say...he claims all responsibility himself and admits publicly (or used to) that he was not even on a combat mission, but a routine one to install a relay and went back for some beer. Poor guy blew off three limbs and didn't even get a purple heart (like Kerry did from his self inflicted scratch). Cleland was one heck of a guy...too bad he has turned into a shill fror Kerry and the liberals.
