Former Georgia Democrat who was a triple amputee after serving in the Vietnam War passed away on Tuesday. Max Cleland (born Joseph Maxwell Cleland) was a disabled U.S. Army Veteran who is a recipient of the Silver Star and the Bronze Star for valorous actions in combat, and a one term senator.

He passed away at the age of 79.

He lost his arm and both his legs during the Vietnam War. 

His personal assistant Linda Dean announced his passing at his home in Atlanta.

Cleland was a U.S. Army captain who served in the Vietnam War. He picked up a live grenade and had exploded on him. He often blamed himself for the f-up, but it was revealed a solider was reckless in preparedness.

He spent many months in hospitals ill-equipped to help wounded soldiers. He found himself to become an advocate for veterans and disabled Americans.

Jimmy Carter appointed Cleland to lead the Veterans Administration which he held from 1977 to 1981.

His most memorable role was his term in the U.S. Senate. He was considered a moderate Democrat who worked Republicans and Democrats alike. Cleland supported the 2003 war in Iraq. He also supported some of George W. Bush's policies when it came to tax cuts and reduced spending.

However he was targeted by the Republicans and their goddamn culture wars. The scary Muslim was the topic de jour of the Republicans during the Bush years. Support the war or you're supporting the enemy was the Saxby Chambliss way of winning.

Chambliss used weasel words to depict Cleland and Democrats as sympathizers of terrorism. He used Osama Bin Laden's image in an ad to scare white voters.

Cleland would lose to Chambliss by five points. 

Chambliss never served in the military was criticized by Republican veterans like John McCain and Chuck Hagel. 

He also served as the Georgia Secretary of State in 1983-1996. He was a member of the Georgia senate from 1971 until 1975.

President Biden called Cleland a good valued senator. Biden was a senator from 1973 until 2009.
