I'm sure he didn't mean I'm literally a parachute, but yes, I am a Paratrooper (like the Marines, we're never 'former' ).Fallschirmjäger means Paratrooper.
Jäger is hunter, and Fallschirm is parachute. Schirm is mesh or screen like a light cloth. Fall is fall like tumble.
There are so many things that we just come to accept because we keep hearing it; "hide in the classroom instead of trying to escape then there's a gunman" or "Just hand your _____ over to the nice policeman and let him do his job" or "The officer has a right to _______". Rarely are those things that are in your best interests and not the interests of those who think they are your betters.
