Got a link for that BS that Dole's wound were self-inflicted?
In 1942 at the age of 19, Bob Dole answered the call to serve his country by joining the Army to fight in World War II. He became a second lieutenant in the Army's 10th Mountain Division, and in the Spring of 1943, found himself in the hills of Italy fighting the Nazi Germans. In the middle of heavy shelling, Lieutenant Dole saw his radioman go down, and crawled out of his foxhole to try to rescue the wounded soldier, but he was hit by Nazi machine gun fire. After the battle, medics gave him a shot of morphine and marked his forehead with an "M" written in his own blood, not expected to survive. However, he survived his wounds, although they left him with a shattered right shoulder and paralyzed from the neck down. He was twice decorated for heroic achievement, receiving two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star with Oakleaf Cluster. It took nearly three years and nine operations for Bob Dole to rehabilitate.

He threw a grenade poorly, it hit a tree, and came back at him.

Study your facts, that was Kerry who threw the grenade and had it bounce back at him...

Dole is a very honorable man who lost the use of his are saving a fellow soldier....

Do not attack a GENUINE war hero which Dole is.
