re: #312 HappyWarrior

If you want to see how two faced the American public is about war heroes, look at how Kerry was treated by the Bush campaign and its allies. One can disagree with how Kerry acted in VVAW all they want but the Swifties trashed his service record and the RNC mocked his Purple Hearts.

The way Kerry was treated was horrendous, but the treatment of Max Cleland reaches a whole new level. Starting with the accusations (both public and private) that he’d lied about his injuries to cover up for the grenade he dove on being his own.
