Hey. At least the VA/Army is paying for it!
A friend of mine was in the Army mid-90's. He was rappelling down a rope from a Blackhawk and the line wasn't prepared perfectly. Broke his back. He recovered and then freaking Covid got him...
Lousy luck, for sure. Reminds me of a Roger Zelazny line from Nine Princes in Amber series. A demonic looking lizard ran at full speed through the room. Soon it was followed by a red-skinned, barb-tailed, fellow with horns.
To which an observer quipped: "That's how it is around here. Just one damned thing after another."
I guess damned if we do, and damned if we don't. :)

The brilliance of that series cannot really be overstated
A great series of books for sure!
