Perhaps to show that Ann Coulter is right about Dems using Messengers who can't be disputed because of some life tragedy? In this case a Senator elected only because he lost limbs in Vietnam rather than his positions on issues.
Exactly.
His injuries and rehab had to be horrible, but the truth is he was a victim of carelessness (like any industrial accident) rather than combat. Yet the Democrats (literally) roll him out as if he is a combat hero for every election.
Our former Georgia Senator had an "industrial accident"; Army talk is "FRAGGED". My sources say he was less than courageous on the DMV and got airlifted out, thinking his platoon men all dead. They weren't. Nuff said. Let smarter people than me put the puzzle together.
Bottom line, Max Cleland and Murtha served. God knows how they live with their guilt.
