From Bookworm Room, two happy-making
videos. One is about inclusion: not the kind where you pretend everyone is alike, but the kind where you take your blinders off, find out what people can do instead of what you expected they could do, make a place for it, and honor them for it. The other is about what the Bible might call the "widow's mite": gifts from the heart, with no strings attached or guilt invoked.
I'd bet those special needs recruits do those 'menial' jobs like cleaning gas mask tubes and organizing batteries in exemplary fashion, and it might have an effect on the soldiers that they interact with. The joy of the satisfaction of a job well done. A good thing to have.
