There is no such thing as a "POS leg" to use your crude expression. Some of us are extremely proud of being legs. At least we don't run around ignorantly insulting others who served our nation at difficult times in dangerous places.

The guy had a CIB. That means something where I come from. God knows why he thought he needed to make anything up, but I do know that PTSD is absolutely for real./

I've jumped out of plenty of planes and been to worse places than jump school. I just thought it was an absurd way to go to war. But that's just a personal thing, and plenty of my best friends and some of the best men and women I've met wear jump wings. But to reiterate, there is no such thing as a "POS leg."

Thanks for your civilized response to the "POS leg" comment. I had a lot less pleasant reply for the "person" who posted that.

proud former leg.

So, you wish to side with the likes of Kerry, Murtha, and now Levy, who have used their military service for political gain?

After basic and advanced infantry training at Fort Dix, N.J., he went to Fort Benning, Ga. for basic airborne training in October 1964.

The reference to Levy as a "leg" may have been misplaced since it seems that he attended jump school. That does not mean he graduated.

He "may" have served with SF but that doesn't mean he had more than a support role.

but I do know that PTSD is absolutely for real.

If Levy misled people about his SF status, what is to stop him from misleading people about his mental status?

As for your comments:"Some of us are extremely proud of being legs" and"I've jumped out of plenty of planes and been to worse places than jump school.", which is it? Are you Airborne qualified?
