(alleged) disabled vets???

Why the “(alleged)”? I’m not aware of any reports that the people Bush ran or bicycled with were anything other than legitimate veterans with disabling combat injuries. Did I perhaps miss something? Or are you referring to Bush’s security people who accompanied them?

I think you missunderstand the (alleged) disabled....people with a handicap (the vets in this case) many times don’t allow themselves to be “disabled” and want no special treatment and take it as a point of pride....you show them respect when you compete with them and cut them no slack....in other words you’re not patronizing

I meant no disrespect ... I was trying to not categorize overcomers as disabled
