I was airborne qualified (five jump chump), but I always laughed at the AA calling everyone else "legs". Like... you got a ride on an airplane, now guess who's walking the rest of the war?

WWII Rangers = Legs. Ditto Merrill’s Marauders.

But the delivery mechanism really isn’t the point. It’s the ability for independent action by even the smallest group, under the worst of conditions and often behind enemy lines.

Outstanding!
One of my proudest moments was when I first wore a starched Khaki uniform with silver wings and bloused Jump Boots......
And throwing out my low quarters and that god awful "BusDriver" hat!
