As a tax payer who helped fund that education, in this case I do NOT want a refund, I want this guy in the military. He sounds like exactly the kind of guy we need.
Surely some bright FReeper can find a way we can try and send a message.
His lawyer was being interviewed on the radio while I was posting this.
The lawyer is a Vet and Waudby just wants to graduate. It isn't one of those 'damages, pain and suffering' lawsuits. Or at least, it didn't sound like it.
You want a guy in the military who can't run and make time; despite the fact that eveyrone else can make time? You are aware that a platoon is only as fast as the slowest member; so how many people should be killed because we drop standards so overweight and out of shape soldiers can join? Would you want him in your platoon? You have to move out; because you will otherwise be killed ... and you can't move out fast enough because you have a person who has "already exceeded the Army's height and weight requirements by 129 pounds."
Then you accuse the Liberals of reacting upon FEELINGS, instead of facts?
My thoughts exactly. Any young man fit enough for football should be fit enough for the military. He deserves a better chance and his diploma.
