Even war injuries, which today are respected as an incredible sacrifice for the country, were viewed as making someone ‘crippled’ and therefore worthy of less respect. It was a fucked up world in many ways.

EDIT: To be fair to the show’s treatment of Pike, that episode wanted him to be completely debilitated to the point of living a miserable existence. If he weren’t in such rough shape then the episode would’ve been much less compelling.
