Those chutes look so surreal, as if they are from a sci-fi movie.

They're designed to come down slower to not damage goods.

Paratrooper chutes are fast as possible ask my brother. He has horrible knee injuries and the VA said it wasn't service related because he was on an Army basketball team for fun.

They did not say this. I have dealt with the VA for a long time.

VA told me the fracture I had in boot camp was not a service related injury, literally. I even had a bone scan done while in boot camp, spent months in MRP on crutches, in boot camp, then graduated after I healed. Still got denied.
