Kind of like Max Cleland, got injured playing with ammo, and then got beaten
fare and square in the last election for following the party line rather
than the needs of his constituents....mjh

For the benefit of those unfamiliar with the story Max Cleland, when
getting off a helicopter in Vietnma saw a greade on the ground and
thought he had dropped it. He picked it up and it exploded. Cleland
lost one arm and both legs.

I don't know that it was ever determined where the grenade came from.
It might even have been a fragging incident.
