Greatly appreciate your service and sacrifice.
I do know one thing - having seen this commercial. Max Cleland is in this commercial. He's the one who lost three limbs - an arm and BOTH legs, in Vietnam. Which he went to fight. He went to war. He saw combat - up close 'n' personal. He shed blood. He suffered. He really got his hands dirty - hell, he even LOST one of his hands! He risked EVERYTHING when his country called. Wore his country's uniform. He served. He made the sacrifice. He DID the heavy lifting. And he paid a HUGE price for his love of and devotion to country.
And guess what happened to him? Anybody remember? He was defending his Senate seat, representing the state of Georgia, from a pantywaist, lily-livered CHICKENHAWK named Saxby Chambliss - who NEVER served. And Saxby Chambliss, who NEVER served, NEVER wore his country's uniform, NEVER saw combat, NEVER got his hands dirty, NEVER risked ANYTHING when his country called. NEVER put his life on the line for his country, NEVER did ANY heavy lifting for anybody, certainly not for his country - This weasel had THE GALL to question Max Cleland's patriotism because Max Cleland voted against the Iraq War. (Having BEEN to war, one is not surprised by that vote from that particular Senator, who's already seen and known and experienced the truth).
Sad to say, that same chickenhawk weasel SMEARED Max Cleland and was REWARDED for it - allowed to steal Max Cleland's Senate seat from him more than a dozen years ago, during the bush/cheney push for the Iraq War. The WEASEL questioned Max Cleland's patriotism!

I hope Saxby Chambliss burns in Hell for all eternity. I follow the news fairly closely, and I can't remember EVER seeing or hearing that that bastard Chambliss ever apologized for what he did, and how he slandered and smeared and disrespected Max Cleland - his service AND his sacrifice.
Anybody wanna talk Deplorables? THERE'S one right there! Saxby Chambliss - AND all the weasel voters in Georgia who saw fit to give Max Cleland's job to that fucking lying smearing bullshit chickenhawk.
Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. Anybody who remembers back then should be OUTRAGED by the memory of it. Deplorable time. And utterly deplorable campaign - and exponentially deplorable voters. There. I said it. Anybody who voted for Saxby Chambliss - who did that to a horribly wounded war veteran - should be ashamed of himself/herself. There. I said THAT, too. That to me is the very definition of "deplorable," in the flesh.
