When I took up alpine skiing the same year I turned 59 my family and friends encouraged me but didn't hold out much hope for success...and it turned out to be a lifesaver.
What does this have to do with politics? Disabled soldiers stood their duty on 'the wall' for their nation and its political regimes...and some paid dearly for the duty, but life continues anyway and we all aspire for that feeling of worth that sports can provide.

Adapt, improvise, overcome...
To smother the flame in a Warrior's heart, best you prepare yourself for a loooooong siege.
OO-RAH!!!
Disabled is within the heart and mind.
Many are disabled who are in perfect health.
As one who is proud to call himself Diesel's friend in real life, he is not what he was forty years ago: time takes its toll, along with the cumulative effects of of our experiences. Disabled? When in his presence, I invite you to "bring it". Your edification would follow in short order...
Perhaps it should be in 'Sport and Fitness'
Edification: the act or process of edifying.
Edify: to instruct and improve: ENLIGHTEN.
Instruction is a threatening proposition to you? <IMG SRC="confused.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
He wasn't threatened by the offer of "instruction" it was the manner in which you did it.
"Bring it." <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
Who wouldn't be offended by someone suggesting they attack a disabled man? Is the real test of whether or not you are disabled is you can kick someone else's ass?
It was an innocent question, not an insult.
