Hello JoeK
You made a very good point about wanting to serve your country. There will always be those who wish to serve or not. However, looking at the wider picture, what saddens me is just how much our disabilities take away our options and opportunities from life. Opportunities which could have been chosen or rejected before becoming disabled. The important point being that the choice was yours. A good friend of mine who is blind was asked what being blind is like. She said that it is a 'Lesson in loss' thngs are taken from you all the time.
Anyway, enough of dwelling on that, but its still an important issue.
Best wishes
Richard
