Right, and there's many overweight, unfit drivers in transport corps around the world, but they aren't in the Seal Teams. There are lots of areas where we discriminate based on physical ability, including physical disabilities.

So it works like this: A fitness salon should have elevator for the disabled not because they will hire a disabled yoga instructor but because they can hire an accountant on wheelchairs.
