    How long before some blackhat cracks his legs?

    Its sad that this had to be invented.

    The cause is regrettable, not the invention. My question - what is the cost, and when these vets need new prosthetics, will they get similar replacements? Best case for prosthetic use before replacement - 5 years; worst case - 1 year. I ran into a Vietnam vet about 10 years ago who had saved enough money after 8 years to finally get another prosthesis. He’d lost one leg in combat, and spent almost a year in hospital saving the other. Looking at the remaining leg, I could see that the docs did an impressive job. So, are current vets going to be treated better, or only for this first prosthesis p.r.?

    People are born without limbs from time to time, you know. What’s really sad is that nobody cared enough about those few to make a really cool prosthetic leg… instead, it took a war full of mangled young men and women to make it happen.
