Max Cleland: "Duh"

Max Cleland tells Wolf Blitzer that even though he lost both legs and an arm in Vietnam his deepest wounds are psychological. He says, "When you go to war you bring it home with you. Duh." Blitzer mentioned that up to a third of soldiers returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq may have mental problems. Even those who survive in one piece will pay for Bush's (and our) foolishness for the rest of their lives.

Adding, my favorite part comes with about two minutes left when Cleland refers to Cheney and says bluntly "Where the hell were you in the Vietnam war, if you'd been there you would have learned something about war."
