Ok it's easy to see you are angry and disapointed mate. But thats the sour cards you got dealt! When my brother took a round in Northern Ireland
(Leg wound) He was regular Scots Infantry. Our father made me promise
(I was oldest) I would not join up. I joined the 15th Parachute Regiment as a result!
(reserve or TAVR). I too was injured
(lower back) and was offered an allternative the Royal Artillery, I took it and enjoyed my time. Now here is the punch line....If you want to serve then do, but enter through the army reserve, do loads of courses and get a commision, then transfer to regular, ok the Brit and US army are different, but very much the same in many ways. Investigate this mate and let us all know how you get on. Finally if all else fails..you have my respect and appreciation for trying and also everyone who has answered you or viewed your post.
Semper Fi!
