Noun;
Non Airborne personnel who many times justify their unwillingness to put their "knees in the breeze" by saying things like, "When was the last time you jumped into combat?" and "Airborne isn't necessary anymore"
However, Paratroops shouldn't be discouraged. These Legs were never held to the highest standard and thrived. Legs, in general, would never face their fears voluntarily because deep down, they are cowards that will only do the bare minimun in life.
Not all Legs are flawed. Many are nearly as good as an Airborne soldier(minus the wings.) These Legs work hard and don't hide their inadeqaecies by pointing their fingers at others. Paratroopers only call these men and women Legs with playful intent.
