Yes, but if Mr Longbottom's caught he's not going to a camp.
Which is undoubtedly a blow to the Order, as well, since he can't help on missions the way he did, I agree.
I understand that it's a form of...of becoming a cripple, what. The point is that cripples--the handicapped--they do learn how to compensate for their lost faculties.
And I do see that he'll have to learn new skills but it's not as if his training is useless. He has hand-to-hand combat skill, skills as a strategist, tactical planning, survival--jolly well loads of ways he's still productive.
Naturally he needs to adjust to the blow. However, I can't see how it does him any good to amplify the damage to the point where he feels it's insurmountable.
