Ukraine

Like I said before, its not his capability that I questioned - if a double amputee can compete in the Olympics and be competitive, thats pretty strong evidence that prosthetics are pretty darn good nowadays. It was the optics and how it can be spun by opponents of Ukraine.

If Ukraine wasn't having recruitment problems, this would be a different story.
I heard the same basic argument you are making back in 77 when the first female ROTC cadet was given a slot for combat pilot training.

Oh "Wail-E" did that ever charge up more than a few of the cadets who were making this will foul up recruitment arguments, as well as all of the other we mustn't put women in combat roles arguments.

It was stated as it being the "the optics of it", when actually it was something else.
