The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Jump school was what WAS a serious physical challenge. Actually jumping out of airplanes was one of the easiest things I have ever done.

I have no doubt a female paraplegic,ESPECIALLY if she were black or Asian,could complete jump school these days,even in her wheelchair. All you would need then would be for someone to roll her chair down the ramp of a C-130.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
