I hope you are making a joke (albeit it is a bad one). Comparing the responses to a religious prayer (which is somewhat refuted large parts of the world) and a persons disability is super ignorant. No...

The fact you fought and beat the punches and mocks means you were tougher than all those other teasers and punchers!!! You are more of a man than they were!! I have never been in military or army bu...
