US paratrooper takes fish on last jump before retirement, sparking controversy with a selfie. Although authorities were not pleased, the man and his fish gained unexpected fame. Story of dedication and whimsy.
All good things come from above. And in that sense, there can never be enough goodness. This may have also been the thought of US paratrooper Spc. Matthew Tattersall, who took his fish with him for his last jump before retiring from the 82nd Airborne Division. A fish from an aquarium, mind you. So far, so unspectacular. But the good man also took a selfie of himself and his fish while jumping. We find that exemplary, the authorities were not thrilled about it, and about the current fame of the man and his fish. 12 days of extra duty. Whether with or without the fish is unknown.
