    In about 20 years time a guy from the future will bang a chick under a highway and that will be the leader of the resistance..

    its great to see support for the wounded. Hopefully in 30 years time or less we can replicate actual arms and legs as flesh.

    Never saw that part, we were at the Funeral of another Bro who died at the Ft. Bragg Wounded Warrior holding unit. In Sams case the IED (which was a 155mm in a white sandbag wired to a trigger man)the blast blew out his left side taking with it his brachial artery and almost all of his left bicep and tricep. The amount of nerve loss to his upper arm Sam's hand was considered a secondary injury. He spent three years before they had to amputate it finally. He runs triathlons now and last year rode with Bush 43 across Texas and then in Normandy.

    Thats quite a recovery, hopefully this technology will help more people lead a normal life after an amputation.
