Wow Husar, you sound bitter...

I agree that the state should have helped him more, of course.

But really, this man got beaten by the system... And then decided to man up and show why he was a paratrooper in the first place.

Working as ski instructor, I always got the private lessons with hindered people in the ski school. And the sheer willpower I have experienced, has been absolutely humbling to me.

Was this guy who came down a week every year, for 5 years, to learn to ski. He only had one leg though.... To teach him to ski was easy, the real problem was the pure physical effort, as skiing on one leg takes a LOT, I really mean a LOT, more muscle power than skiing on two.

When he finally skied down the whole mountain with me, I cried.

I'm not sure even I with superior technique and well fit would have managed to ski down that mountain on one leg!!


Inspirational REAL stuff is hard enough to come by as is, and this seems legitimate. Not some "Things will get better!!" photoshop job on Facebook.

When someone not only takes the effort to complete the journey, but also takes his time to try and inspire others (and in such a open honest way as well)... I dunno, I can't help but worry over that you feel the need to smash it.

How's life mate, are you ok?
