A Brother In Arms - Max Cleland on Kerry's OpEd

[fedupinBushcountry]

I?m proud of my friend John Kerry for speaking up.


He's been in some tough political fights these last years and he fought like hell. It would've been easy to walk away, but that's not who John is. Losing a hard and bitter campaign made John think even more about what he cares about, reflect on what got him into public service in the first place, and now he's fighting his heart out right now with all the conviction and passion he had at 27. There's an old saying that I believe in, and I believe applies to my friend John today: he's "stronger at the broken places."

John's OpEd in today's New York Times is the best of his head and his heart.

He knows it's hard serving in a war that's gone wrong. It's even harder when you know there are politicians in Washington afraid to speak out for a better policy.

5. I love Max too.

I think you can tell a lot about the character of a person by the company they keep, and therefore the friendship of Max and JK speaks volumes about both men.
