RIP Max Cleland

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Wed Nov 10, 2021 5:08 pm

Max Cleland, Vietnam Veteran and Former Senator, Dies at 79

He lost both legs and an arm in the war. Republicans impugned his patriotism by linking him to Osama bin Laden in an infamous TV spot.

Can’t we just honor this veteran in the eve of Armistice Day without throwing in a partisan jab? And this is a redundant post.

You can't honor him without refuting the attack on him in this country.

What's redundant?

So BJ was wrong? It CAN be done? I didn't see that coming.

RIP, sir.
