Hi Maurice Winn; Re: Rumsfield being asked if someone could go with the Rangers... I wonder if the reporter had any idea what the rate of injury is for low altitude night time parachute drops by novices with military size parachutes.

I'd bet the odds of at least busting a leg are better than even. The simple fact that three guys who've done it many times before ended up injured should be a clue.
