“They wouldn’t take me in the [U.S.] Navy because of my glass eye. So I joined the merchant navy, who allowed monocular crew if you worked in the kitchens. You’re not wanted on deck or in the engine room with one eye, but you’re good to fire up the ovens and cook hundreds of chops.” – Peter Falk [1]

Watched a news story about blind veterans kayaking the Colorado River . Made me think our armed forces may be wasting trained personal because of a permanent injury. These vets have already shown a desire to serve. I would much rather serve with these folks than a transgender looking to make a statement and get their hormones paid for by us. Thank you and keep up the good work .

And until now I never knew he had a glass eye. I guess he never considered it a handicap
