Injured soldiers try adaptive sports at UCLA

Forty injured soldiers from the U.S. Army's community-based Warrior Transition Unit try adaptive sports - wheelchair basketball, rock climbing and table tennis - at UCLA's Wooden Center with the help of UCLA's adaptive recreation program. The program is offered to UCLA students, staff, faculty and community members.

The top two rated comments argue politics and ignore the prosperity of these soldiers and giving them thanks and honor for they're service. If you have that much care and opinion over the politics, do something about it besides youtube comments.

Making triumph out of tragedy.

Yes buddy, In Iraq we chopped legs and hands of 50,000 beasts and bastards like these ones.

I am happy the Taliban and Iraqi fighters chopped off their legs. Wow, I am coming to join Taliban.

May Obama be like them and play basket ball with them one day.

Sad that politicians like former President Bill Clinton, Senator John Kerry & others speak up for a dying prominent lawyer (Frederick Baron?) to get TYSABRI, but won't speak up for a TYSABRI clinical trial for our US military that may get crippled overseas.

I've written to my elected officials petitioning them to start & fund a military clinical trial that might get 300 or so of our crippled heroes to walk!

Forget the 1959 methlylprednisolone!

TYSABRI = 6x ur stem cells.

STAND UP, please!

hahahaha wheelchair fuckers hahaha I love how Iraq fucks up people

Great program! Pray these brave souls will help encourage others to seek better drugs for traumatic brain & spinal cord injuries.

While non-US hospitals pursue use of new drugs that help heal spinal cord & traumatic brain, sadly captured US health agencies....
