There’s only one thing a “LEG” is good for... and it takes two of ‘em to accomplish that!

Guy working in another office in our building (before I retired) was an officer in the Army Reserve. He'd done active duty as a ranger.
So, one weekend he pulled duty of some sort and he jumped out a plane ~ just to practice ~ it's like if you don't use it then it falls off and who wants that.
Guy broke both ankles. Splinters in his shins ~ from the inside.
It was like he died from then on out. He didn't limp because both legs were screwy in the same way ~ so he could still look good in his uniform.
But it really was like your ditty has it ~ he ain't gonna' jump no more.

Good question.
Perhaps because, as his About page states, he is only 16 years old and has no idea about courage and bravery.

and you posted this crap...WHY?Because Airborne School is the gateway to an embiggened Army experience, so as to make it cromulent, is why.

I grew up near Fort Bragg, home of the 82nd Airborne. Those guys used to sing “Blood Upon The Risers” to their mothers on Mother’s Day.

My son’s reserve chute wrapped around his ankle but he did jump again. After a short stint recovering.

This is an official song of the Airborne. The 82nd Airborne Choir actually sings the song.
Click on the link the poster gave on youtube.

and you posted this crap...WHY? Perhaps because many of us do not know it as crap, but as a great airborne song that we all know by heart. Those who think it crap cannot begin to understand why we like it.

"Embiggened" sir?
It is a common word down our way.
