I don't care that it comes from Breitbart – it's a great story.

A genuine hero is Sgt. 1st Class Greg Robinson, 34, the first amputee to complete Army air assault school. The grueling tests that Robinson passed at the Sabalauki Air Assault School are unmanageable for most two-legged men, but Robinson, who lost part of his right leg in an attack in Afghanistan that was part of a major operation in 2006, passed one of the toughest series of tests the Army has to offer. Every day begins with a 2-mile run, and exercises are conducted wearing a 35 pound rucksack.

Good for him!

But, I can't help but wonder this: If a one-legged man can complete the Air Assault School (widely regarded as one of the toughest in the Army) why can't women complete Infantry OSUT or the Ranger School?
