uh yeah, jumping hurts my ass and knees as it is, and i'm in my 20's. i seriously doubt these old men, though still brave as ever, will survive a PLF. interesting retirement hobby though-

Well, stop landing on your 4th point of contact, Airborne!

They wont jump with regular Army chutes (T-10 or Dash-1-Bravo). They will use the Army/civilian kind that are steerable and can land on their feet.

LET THEM JUMP!!!!!!!


btw...We are losing a thousand veterans a day from WWII.

In the words of World War II Adm. Chester Nimitz “. . . to them we have a solemn obligation.”
