Slapsy Maxie Cleland Treated for "Bonehead Disease"
National Embarrassment and former US Senator "Slapsy Maxie" Cleland is being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder.
Is it due to his time in Vietnam? Of course not, according to Maxie - it is due to the Iraq war.
We never knew Maxie, who lost his legs and arm in Vietnam, served in Iraq. Amazing!
Cleland Treated for Trauma Disorder
The media never tells anyone that Cleland lost his legs and arm in Vietnam when he played with a hand grenade and it blew up in his face - he did not lose the limbs in combat. Now he is using the war in Iraq to make himself look sympathetic. He is not. He is a thug like the rest of the thugs in his party.

Cleland Treated for Trauma Disorder
Former Sen. Max Cleland, who has battled bouts of depression since losing an arm and both legs in Vietnam, is being treated for post- traumatic stress disorder.
Cleland, who represented Georgia in the Senate from 1997 to 2003, said he believes the condition _ cases of which are increasing rapidly among Vietnam war veterans _ was in part triggered by the ongoing violence in Iraq.
"I realize my symptoms are avoidance, not wanting to connect with anything dealing with the (Iraq) war, tremendous sadness over the casualties that are taken, a real identification with that. ... I've tried to disconnect and disassociate from the media. I don't watch it as much. I'm not engrossed in it like I was," Cleland said in an interview with WSB-TV in Atlanta.
